Critic Reviews

  • Louis B. Parks, Houston Chronicle

    A near-disaster.

  • Lou Lumenick, New York Post

    Shue comes perilously close to offensive caricature as the afflicted Molly.

    A television drama slapped together in a rush.

  • Ken Tucker, Entertainment Weekly

    Bizarrely inept.

  • Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times

    It is moving and has been well-crafted with much care, and it allows Shue, Eckhart, Jane and Jill Hennessy as Molly's doctor to make solid impressions.
