Los Angeles Times Kevin Thomas

This late-in-the-year gem glows with Levinson's characteristically warm embrace of a wide range of people and his superlative sense of time and place.

Washington Post Desson Thomson

The movie finds charming humor in a world full of sectarian strife between Protestant and Catholic.

Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert

Wicked and cheeky.

New York Post Lou Lumenick

A laugh-filled comedy that might be described as "The Full Monty" meets the Three Stooges.

75

San Francisco Chronicle Peter Stack

This is a funny novelty, no denying it.

The New York Times Dana Stevens

The director serves up a nice helping of blarney, but he seems to have left his schmaltz in Baltimore.

USA Today Staff [Not Credited]

This wee trinket of a comedy, one of the more offbeat stabs at capturing the absurdity of the religious and political strife in Ireland, is for those who like their Guinness with a shot of wry.

63

Chicago Tribune Michael Wilmington

The movie isn't quite spry, warm or hip enough to carry out its very ambitious serio-comic agenda. Even for an ace like Levinson, Belfast is a long way from Baltimore.

63

New York Daily News Elizabeth Weitzman

Coming from a big shot like Levinson, An Everlasting Piece feels like a gently amusing but undeniably minor diversion that, for whatever reason, needed to be gotten out of his system.

Boston Globe Jay Carr

A slight but diverting series of set pieces.

60

Variety Todd McCarthy

It's a film of myriad minor pleasures but scant compelling qualities.

TV Guide Maitland McDonagh

A bit of whimsy.

Rolling Stone Peter Travers

The humor is slight, but the actors make the blarney go down easy.

Mr. Showbiz Kristy Martin

While An Everlasting Piece is rife with engaging family moments and an undeniable charm, it never allows its characters to find the very thing they're seeking: peace.

Film.com Robert Horton

This mild but amusing comedy wasn't written by Levinson, and the accents may be different, but the feel is similar.

Village Voice Michael Atkinson

It's a sprightly, low-fiber comedy while the comedy lasts.

Chicago Reader Lisa Alspector

Writer Barry McEvoy and director Barry Levinson might want to brush up on the use of metaphor.

In every way dreadful.

J. J. gave it a 7:
Due to the expected ending and an attempt to introduce a serious issue into the movie, the second half was a bit boring.
