Critic Reviews

Stephen Cole, Globe and Mail
An ingratiating comedy based on the premise that it takes a village to raise an adult.
Bruce Demara, Toronto Star
A wonderfully sweet and poignant comedy that goes in all kinds of unexpected directions.
John Anderson, Variety
A potent comedy of genetic chaos.
Dave McGinn, Globe and Mail
Scott deftly balances David's ridiculous mission with moments of real tenderness, making for several heartfelt moments that help carry you past the fact that such a situation couldn't possibly have the ending it does.
Liam Maguren, Flicks.co.nz
Despite the way Starbuck jerks around (ha) with the character's growth, it's still satisfying to see this intriguingly bizarre situation play out...
David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews
...a perfectly watchable yet decidedly uneven comedy/drama that benefits from Patrick Huard's consistently engrossing performance.
Radheyan Simonpillai, NOW Toronto
A movie that incidentally has nothing to do with coffee except for how over-caffeinated it sometimes feels.
