| Internet ReviewsSteve RhodesSteve Martin is at it again remaking classic stories in new, fresh, and wonderful ways. |
| Nolan's Pop Culture ReviewMichael A. SmithOne of Steve Martins most underated performances |
| User ReviewSantosh NThis movie deals with a lot of adult issues in a real life way. I wouldn't recommend it for children unless a parent watches it with them to talk about the issues with the child. Cammy was around 5 when we first watched this movie. We talked about how harmful drugs are, how important family is and adoption... It is a well written with a great cast. |

| User ReviewMommaKat *I loved this movie......Martin at his best in drama |
| User ReviewBellaRay ?Showed the meaning of fatherhood. It is not just a biological relation. The real father is the person who raised, cudled, loved his adopted daughter. Was there for her in each moment of sadness, pain, lonliness, & happiness. |
| User ReviewAnthony SE - X - C - E - L - E - N - T - E ! This movie really played my heartstrings and is my most favourite with Steve Martin in a serious role! |
| User ReviewStuck in a momentI love this movie, Steve Martin plays it very well, and shows that he's not just a comedian. |
| User ReviewLindsay BThis is unlike any Steve Martin movie I ever saw. Parts of this movie make you want to laugh (when he tries to get the girl to eat unsalted, mashed carrots) , other parts make you want to cry. Martin plays his role well. |
