Critic Reviews
-
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail
Gauged strictly by the gag-factor, a more honest title might be Life as a Basement Apartment with Bad Light and a Dank Smell.
-
James Berardinelli, ReelViews
The movie gets us to feel about the characters, their relationships, and their circumstances, and that goes a long way towards allowing us to forgive the screenplays' occasional mis-steps and wrong turns.
-
Joe Baltake, Sacramento Bee
[Kline] works beyond the call of duty here, although the role exploits and corrupts his natural charisma while hardly taking advantage of his estimable talent.
-
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press
There's a prefab construction to Life as a House that prevents it from acquiring the emotional solidness it needs to stand out.
-
Steven Rosen, Denver Post
House may suffer from excessive and unnecessary ornamentation, but its foundation -- Kline's performance -- is solid and strong.
