    This critically panned film is an underrated gem. Pacino treats us with another intriguing, convincing character exploration in this bittersweet comedy. Although there are oddly staged scenes and some awkward dialogue, this movie is very entertaining and, at times, quite moving. ...( read more)Al Pacino never fails to disappoint, and his nuanced portrayal of this unique character is fascinating to watch.

    Hokey but pleasant and any movie with that cast is at least worth one viewing.

    Pacino was brillent in his portrayal of a divorced father trying to make ends meet as a playwrite and full time dad...I think the critics missed this one by a mile.
