Los Angeles Times Kevin Thomas
This joyous film, which confronts pain, loss and transgression with love, wisdom and forgiveness amid inspired humor, has it all.
Read Full Review >Baltimore Sun Michael Sragow
Modest, tasty, and it goes down easy, like home cooking.
Read Full Review >San Francisco Chronicle Bob Graham
Most of the right laughs in most of the right places and some unexpected ones thrown in.
Read Full Review >Boston Globe Jay Carr
In the end, it's simple warmth and sincerity that make this ensemble piece so disarming.
New Times (L.A.) Luke Y. Thompson
Everything leading up to the finale is funny and often heartfelt.
Read Full Review >Miami Herald Sara Wildberger
Strolls from high sentiment to low humor without a stumble, but without reaching any great depth or height.
Chicago Tribune John Petrakis
A hit and miss proposition, with an abundance of laughs and emotional highlights to help brighten the dimly lit corners of cliche-mongering.
Read Full Review >Philadelphia Inquirer Desmond Ryan
More a grab-bag of loosely connected scenes and lives than a film with a firm sense of direction.
The New York Times Stephen Holden
You are left with the feeling that its excesses notwithstanding, it knows its chosen terrain.
Read Full Review >Seattle Post-Intelligencer Sean Axmaker
Cranks up the hysteria to screechy sitcom levels.
Read Full Review >Charlotte Observer Lawrence Toppman
The whole thing's as phony as a funeral oration from a pastor who never knew the deceased.
Read Full Review >New York Daily News Elizabeth Weitzman
The cartoonish characters and outsize performances don't make a smooth transition from stage to screen.
Read Full Review >Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert
It might work on video for viewers who glance up at the screen from time to time. The more attention you pay to it, the less it's there.
Read Full Review >USA Today Mike Clark
It's reduced to glorified refereeing of family squabbles discomfortingly magnified by his frequent use of close-ups.
Read Full Review >Entertainment Weekly Lisa Schwarzbaum
What slays them in the second balcony, though, flattens on the screen.
Read Full Review >Film.com Gemma Files
Not even Goldberg's near-flawless central performance can polish Kingdom Come beyond mere soap opera pap.
Read Full Review >LA Weekly Hazel-Dawn Dumpert
So many stars means so little room for character and plot.
Read Full Review >TV Guide Stephen Miller
Chanteuse Toni Braxton, making her feature film debut as Juanita, a snobbish Slocumb relative, delivers a scene-stealing turn.
Read Full Review >New York Post Jonathan Foreman
The characters are tired stereotypes, the sentimentality nauseating and the situation comedy way below the standards of the very worst WB or UPN shows.
