Leave your thoughts about Stuart Saves His Family.
| VarietyJoe LeydonIt isn't good enough, it isn't smart enough, and, doggone it, most people won't like Stuart Saves His Family. |
| The Film YapNick RogersWisely, "Stuart Saves His Family" attempts something tougher than the usual "SNL" movie, painting a fully fleshed-out portrait of seriocomic misery. In a subgenre littered with films worth forgetting, here is one that's good enough and smart enough. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertA genuine surprise: A movie as funny as the "SNL" stuff, and yet with convincing characters, a compelling story and a sunny, sweet sincerity shining down on the humor. |
| Chicago TribuneJohn PetrakisEven if you find Franken hard to bear, as I do, the movie's take on how he functions in the world is both authoritative and compelling, and the movie steadily grows in stature. |
| JoBlo's Movie EmporiumJoBloI prepared myself for yet another "one joke" Saturday Night Live movie here, but what I got was an enjoyable little film that actually touched upon some interesting issues... |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanStuart Saves His Family is a hit-or-miss satire in which Stuart, for too many scenes, comes off simply as a goofy neurotic butterball. |
| Boston GlobeJay CarrLittle more than a set of intermittently funny skits strung together by a sketchy nonplot about Stuart's relatives. As directed by Harold Ramis, it's seldom better than just amiable. |
| Washington PostHal HinsonThere's a genuinely tragic side to Stuart's character, and for the movie to work the filmmakers have to keep it in balance with the comedy so that the pathos of his life doesn't kill all the laughs. But Ramis can't keep the movie's tone under control, and, as a result, it teeters precariously between farce and wake. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliStretched out to an agonizing ninety-seven minutes, Stuart goes from being passably amusing to tedious to virtually unwatchable. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleThe picture meanders and goes back in time for needless flashbacks, and in the end the comedy mutes whatever punch the dramatic elements might have had. |
