REVIEWS BY CRITICS

“..has the loud, mechanical clicketyclack of a 40-year-old episode of "All in the Family."..”
by Stephen Holden [New York Times]
“..the film jumps all over the place, leaping from comedy to tragedy to hug-dispensing sentimentality..”
by Ronnie Scheib [Variety]
“..despite the genuine humor that pops up in unexpected corners of almost every scene, this movie has a lot to say about misplaced faith..”
by Rex Reed [New York Observer]
