Critic Reviews

  • David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews

    ...peppered with sequences that are either overlong or entirely superfluous.

  • Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews

  • Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, Spirituality and Practice

    Offers some interesting new twists on the well-worn theme of father-son conflicts.

  • Scott Weinberg, eFilmCritic.com

    Shoots for Capraesque and falls well short ... but still worth watching on cable one boring night.
