| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfIn a picture about people, it's telling that the most poignant detail included here concerns a real estate transaction. |
| New York TimesNicolas RapoldRelatable doesn’t have to mean routine, but Mr. Reiner doesn’t always bother to tell the difference. |
| FILMINK (Australia)Colin FraserWhen not saddled by the awkward narrative, Keaton and Douglas reveal a pleasing chemistry, though neither are doing anything new: Douglas growls while Keaton smiles, cries and sings. |
| Entertainment WeeklyJoe McGovernThe Rob Reiner of the past might have tackled a challenging topic, even in a romantic comedy. But that director, who hasn't made a good movie since the mid-1990s, is gone. So it goes. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekIt's like watching Oscar the Grouch turn into Mister Rodgers in ninety minutes. |
