Leave your thoughts about The Magic of Belle Isle.
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzUninspiring sentimental inspirational pic. |
| Christian Science MonitorPeter RainerAlmost every scene is pitched for dewy sympathy. Madsen, a strong actress who might have matched Freeman, is portrayed in varying shades of blandness. Even Freeman, good as his is, is held back here. His rock bottom isn't very rocky, and far from bottomless. |
| Arkansas Democrat-GazettePhilip MartinThis is a cuddly puppy of a movie - what heart is so dark to do it violence? |
| New York ObserverRex ReedThe Magic of Belle Isle is a warm, human, feel-good experience about bringing out the best in people, one that brings out Morgan Freeman's best performance in years. |
| The New York TimesStephen HoldenMs. Madsen, radiant and tousled, without a trace of narcissism, conveys maternal devotion, undaunted courage and a serene sensuality. Real, if idealized, grown-ups: We haven't seen them much in the movies lately, but here they are. |
| Boxoffice MagazinePete HammondReiner has crafted the perfect summer film in The Magic Of Belle Isle. No, not one with a lot of noise and battles and comic book heroes, but rather a wonderfully laid back family story set around a gorgeous lake, about the everyday problems of real people from 7 to 70. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumA crotchety, alcoholic, wheelchair-bound coot played on cruise control by Morgan Freeman learns these recycled lessons in a pastel-colored, embroidered wall-hanging of a drama directed by Rob Reiner. |
| AV ClubSam AdamsFor a movie that spends so much time extolling the virtues of the imagination to show so little of its own is more than ironic - it's offensive. |
| Laramie Movie ScopeRobert RotenThe problems with the dialog and story are overcome by the fact that this is a very nice, warm, romantic story with some magic in it. |
| Time OutKeith UhlichThough the story's wrapped-with-a-bow finale is never in doubt-ol' Meathead remains a populist, pandering Hollywood man through and through-Belle Isle still manages to cast enough of an enchanting spell. |
