Leave your thoughts about Fred Won't Move Out.
| Arizona RepublicBill GoodykoontzExcept for a subplot about a missing cat that suggests that Fred may be considerably dottier than he appears, the movie gets almost everything right about the uncomfortable moment when grown children are forced to be their parents' parents. |
| Village VoicePeter GerstenzangMostly, it captures how old age decimates even the people who don't suffer from it. |
| New York PostFarran Smith NehmeThis carefully observed slice of life is dragged down by the dreary and distracting hand-held camerawork. |
| VarietyGuy LodgeIrregularly spiked with some droll sitcom-style humor, this thoughtful but exceedingly modest miniature will be best nursed within the festival circuit. |
| HeyUGuysJamie NeishA warm-hearted, tender portrait that avoids artifice. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThe film is not a compelling drama so much as a poignant observation of a sad situation. |
| Los Angeles TimesMark OlsenIt also points to one of the movie's most nagging problems: Stuck somewhere between personal memoir and universal truth, Fred Won't Move Out ends up being neither. |
| User ReviewBarri BA very slow moving but real flick on life with an Alzheimer's wife and old stubborn husband. Depressing, cold and not very entertaining. |
| User ReviewLisa WFred Won't Move Out --- could have been called This Stupid Movie Won't End. {Horrible.} |
