Movie Reviews

San Francisco Examiner - 8/10 by Barbara ShulgasserThere is something nicely matter-of-fact about Greg Mottola's family comedy-trauma, The Daytrippers. This first-time writer-director has a breezy way of persuading us that seemingly unrealistic behavior is the most natural in the world.
San Francisco Chronicle - 8/10 by Mick LaSalleThe Daytrippers is low-budget perfection, a comedy without a false note and without a flat joke.
ReelViews - 8/10 by James BerardinelliThe Daytrippers is at its best using parody to paint an incisively humorous picture of a modern American family. We see here just how dysfunctional the typical nuclear family can be, and that "family values" aren't always the solution. Even though The Daytrippers is played primarily for laughs, there's a lot of truth lurking beneath the comic exterior.
Austin Chronicle - 8/10 by Marjorie BaumgartenWriter-director Greg Mottola's first feature is a deceptively quiet and funny film that sticks in your memory long after you think you've left the theatre.
Salon - 8/10 by Robin DoughertyDaytrippers is so well-crafted that you may make it more than halfway through before wondering whether the story will sustain any lasting emotional power. It does -- but not in the way you think it's going to.
TV Guide Magazine - 8/10 by Maitland McDonaghFirst-time writer-director Greg Mottola has a real feel for characters, a quality that's in disturbingly short supply among young filmmakers. The Malone family could easily be a one-dimensional collection of sitcom caricatures, but by the movie's end they feel like real people. He also pulls off a tricky shift of tone, from pleasant, mild comedy to something far more bitter and haunting.
Washington Post - 8/10 by Desson ThomsonWhen you’re through watching The Daytrippers, you think about its minor imperfections, not because the film’s bad, but because it’s so good.
International Press Academy - 8/10 by Michael SzymanskiUnfortunately, to reveal that this funny family movie is bisexual actually will ruin the film for anyone who wants to see it.
Empire - 8/10 by Caroline ReesThe Daytrippers is an assured debut which engages the brain as well as tweaking the laughter lines.
Variety - 8/10 by Emanuel LevyGreg Mottola's feature directorial debut, is an amusing farce about the delicate intricacies and imbalances of a modern marriage. A spirited cast, including old pros such as Anne Meara and younger talent such as Parker Posey, elevates the basically sitcom material into something fluffier and funnier than its nature suggests.
