Critic Reviews
-
Douglas Pratt, DVDLaser
Not only is the cast terrific, but there is a conscious attempt to evoke the feel of the season
-
Chuck O'Leary, Fantastica Daily
An immensely likable comedy-drama.
-
Ryan Cracknell, Apollo Guide
Had director Robert Greenwald tightened-up the scope and made the characters more than static word vessels wasting air, I might have felt a gentle tug inside.
-
Nell Minow, Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies
Underrated sweet story of what happily ever after really means.
-
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, Spirituality and Practice
Presents a slow and leisurely look at sexual politics in and out of marriage.
