---|---|---|---|---|
"A rich blend of humor and heartbreak" | ||||
"This is a deeply unpleasant movie masquerading as a heartfelt social commentary on life in these United States." | ||||
"A satisfying and grown-up flick that boasts all of James L. Brooks' strengths." | ||||
"The movie is not quite the sitcom the setup seems to suggest; there are some character quirks that make it intriguing." | ||||
"Whatever message Brooks was trying to put across with Spanglish, it clearly got lost in translaaaaaaaaaaation." | ||||
"Brooks' championing of good old-fashioned family values feels hopelessly nave and frankly unconvincing." | ||||
"Strong on characters and relationships, but weak on some of the details that would elevate it from merely good to great." | ||||
"A performer's showcase. While the pleasantly sentimental comedy doesn't bowl you over with cinematic technique, it's likely to make audiences happy." |
