    Not bad but some of the characters actions lacked motivations so you wondered why they would take that action. It took you away from the film.

    Yep! Loved it. Does exactly what it's supposed to. Great cast, characters with depth and a lovely story arc. I read the line 'helicopter parenting' from another review and it's very much the case in this film. Loads of heart and affection, albeit sometimes with the wrong outcomes.

    What a fantastic movie. I only watched it because I, for the most part, have enjoyed pretty much everything he has done. The writing as well as all the acting in this gem of a movie, are top notch superb. Laurie Metcalf as mom is wonderful. Please give this one a chance.

    So close to working (Romano's character is sort of refreshing in his specific sad sackness) but the ending deserves a huge eye roll.

    Dark, depressing, not much in the way of a comedy. I came out feeling worse than going in so that says all you need to know.

    Enjoyable movie. Romano was particularly good and the kid who plays his son is a remarkable basketball player, unlike most actors in such a role

    Loved this film. Great, heartfelt drama with a bunch of laughs. This film deserves more recognition. A pleasure to watch.

    It was just okay. Too many depressing moments with not enough closure for some storylines.

    Hubby and Wife date week and Somewhere in Queens was not the best combination. Ray Romano directs for the first time off of a screenplay he co-wrote. Hubby couldn't get into the movie based on a premise that just is false. Colleges don't hold tryouts for high school kids. The whole film is based around this and it's not a thing. There are funny moments and good ideas, but how about setting up as the kid giving up an already given scholarship would have worked better. Wife has this in that fine range, not great, not terrible. It's hard nor to like Ray Romano. Hubby: 4.2/Wife: 6/Average: 5.1/10
