Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times

It's nothing more than a money maker for the filmmakers and a pointless star vehicle for Sandler. full review

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

A stink bomb of a movie. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Frank Capra played this story straight. But the 2002 film doesn't really believe in it, and breaks the mood with absurdly inappropriate 'comedy' scenes. full review
