- Critics' reviews
-
-
"The once-funny Robin Williams is still stuck in his excruciating touchy-feely mode"
-
Entertains but never quite engages.
-
"The childish humor and sensationalistic effects undercut the movie's philosophical agenda."
-
"More a meditation on the nature of life itself than anything else, and a welcome respite from Robin Williams, the emotion sponge."
-
"Kids will be bored, the rest of us baffled."
-
"Columbus' approach is intended to cloak such topics as mortality and human identity in the warm glow of greeting card sentiment, which renders the prescription palatable for mass consumption but hopelessly diluted"
