| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekGood-natured, eager to please and harmless, but also contrived, trite and bland. |
| Village VoiceMelissa AndersonAn incompetently structured film that pits hippies against squares with the usual wearying results. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumSo let's hear it for the giant wig of Pre-Raphaelite gray corkscrews planted on the noggin of Jane Fonda as a glamorous hippie grandma. The hairdo meets its match in the dull Ann Taylor togs encasing Catherine Keener: That's how you know Granny's daughter is an uptight lawyer. |
| Dallas Morning NewsChris VognarWoodstock, and hippie grandmas everywhere, demand better. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura Clifford...plays like "Wanderlust 2: Family Reunion" without as many (intentional) laughs. |
| Boston PhoenixAnn LewinsonIt's Fonda's show, riffing on her Hanoi Jane past and aided by first-time screenwriters Christina Mengert and Joseph Muszynski's ear for how both smart people and New-Agers talk. |
| AV ClubAlison WillmoreOlsen, so good in "Martha Marcy May Marlene," is stuck playing a judgmental scold, while Wolff waves a video camera around and insists he wants to be Werner Herzog. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertAn undemanding formula picture that's a lot of superficial fun and not much more. |
| New York ObserverRex ReedPop songs, beautiful bucolic scenery and the joy of watching Jane Fonda fizz in a fun role that looks like a no-brainer are elements that a skilled director like Australia's polished Bruce Beresford (Driving Miss Daisy) blends with perfection. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyThree talented actresses, including Jane Fonda, are wasted in this disappointing serio-comedy. |
