Critic Reviews

Emanuel Levy, EmanuelLevy.Com
Never a subtle director, Rydell goes for the obvious and sentimental. Starring Bette Midler and James Caan. his musical chronicle is not so much nostalgic as it is banal, reducing major events in American history to the level of personal feuds.

Carol Cling, Las Vegas Review-Journal
Hokey and sentimental, but Midler's divine.
-
Clint Morris, Moviehole
A very enaging, ultimately satisfying drama with two knockout performances
