REVIEWS BY CRITICS

“..turns into a strained and mawkish ode to life's last chances that wheezes along to an inevitable conclusion..”

by Gary Goldstein [Reel]

“..after an enjoyably brisk first 45 minutes or so, the film rather runs out of steam..”

by David Mercier [FilmJudge]

“..There's a lot more going on here than a dirty old man ogling an attractive young thing..”

by James Berardinelli [ReelViews]
