| New York Daily NewsJami BernardThe triumph here is the natural, fluid way the characters interact, many of them displaying real-life, quirky senses of humor you don't often find in screenplays. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertA sweet and touching film, worth a visit. |
| DVDTalk.comScott WeinbergComes from a sincere (as in autobiographical) place, and, despite its familiar trappings, it's presented with an admirable lack of B.S. |
| VarietyJoe LeydonCharacter's multiple mid-life crises could make this genuinely engaging drama especially appealing to older viewers. |
| TV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonaghHowever fact-based the material may be, Jordan's salt-of-the-earth characters, with their bluster and pride and rough-edged loyalty, are all too familiar, and their travails feel formulaic, right down to the life-affirming climax. |

| The New York TimesStephen HoldenAn unusually pure example of American kitchen-sink realism. |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckUltimately has the air of a home movie project blown up to feature-length proportions. |
| New York PostLou LumenickFails to dig out the dramatic meat, despite a yeoman performance by Danny Aiello. |
| Chicago ReaderJonathan RosenbaumKevin Jordan (Smiling Fish and Goat on Fire), a protege of Martin Scorsese, wrote and directed this dull 2005 autobiographical feature; it feels real, but solid performances fail to enliven the characters. |
