August 13, 2011A passable little family dramedy with a good cast but it lacks emotional depth and spends too little time on its characters. Michael Caine, the best part of the film, doesn't get nearly as much screen time as he should have.

A sentimental journey, to be sure, but is saved by bleakly humorous moments. Full Review

Rick Groen, Globe and Mail
In Michael Caine and Christopher Walken and Josh Lucas, [Roberts has] surrounded himself with a first-rate cast who, with one exception, seize the day. Full Review

Robert Denerstein, Denver Rocky Mountain News
Seems to think it's extra-crunchy, but winds up a pretty regular affair.

Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press

This movie is too precious by half, but the smooth, unhurried performances of Caine and Walken (along with the sturdy work of Josh Lucas) allow plenty of room for forgiveness. Full Review

First-time filmmaker Jordan Roberts worked on this project for years, but merely ended up with dreary cliche. Full Review
