Leave your thoughts about Nothing Like the Holidays.
| Las Vegas Review-JournalCarol ClingYou know that time-honored holiday dish that turns up on the table every year? The one that reappears annually because it just wouldn't be a holiday celebration without it -- even though everybody's sick of it by now?Consider this the cinematic equivalent |
| Kansas City StarJason HeckHave you seen it before? Well, yeah. Lots. But have you seen it quite like this? Doubtful. |
| Chicago TribuneChristopher BorrelliIt's what we need at the holidays, and it's the modest goal of a modest little picture like this--to capture something heartfelt and real. |
| Arizona Daily StarPhil VillarrealThere's nothing like a holiday film that gets you in the spirit of family reunions in all their disastrous glory. |
| E! OnlineMatt StevensHolidays adds a welcome ethnic twist to the mix, but not much else |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonSimplistic and soapy, Nothing Like the Holidays nonetheless succeeds in warming the cockles. |
| BeliefnetNell MinowThe stars quickly create an authentic sense of the rhythms and short-cuts of family communication. |
| Philadelphia InquirerCarrie RickeyThis unassuming and unexpectedly moving picture set in Chicago's Humboldt Park neighborhood is a sugarplum-and-sofrito affair centering on the Rodriguez household. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThe performers breathe real life into the characters, starting with Elizabeth Pena and Alfred Molina. |
| Associated PressJake CoyleThe roles are paper thin, which is too bad considering the talent of the cast. They have all been better. Molina and Leguizamo, in particular, deserve better material. |
