Critic Reviews
-
Dennis Harvey, Variety
Feels secondhand and contrived.
-
Nicolas Rapold, New York Times
Whether stuffing its graceless hero into a clown suit on a construction site or sending him on a first date with an offbeat neighbor to give a safe-sex talk at a home for the elderly, the film is funny only on paper, if that.
-
Sherrie Li, Village Voice
Anything heartbreaking or somber is touched upon with the barest of brushes or converted into a comic Band-Aid, leaving you stuck on the cusp of the last stage of grief.
