80This 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.
-
80The movie finds charming humor in a world full of sectarian strife between Protestant and Catholic.
-
75Wicked and cheeky.
-
75A laugh-filled comedy that might be described as "The Full Monty" meets the Three Stooges.
-
75This is a funny novelty, no denying it.
-
70The director serves up a nice helping of blarney, but he seems to have left his schmaltz in Baltimore.
-
63The 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.
-
63Coming 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.
-
63This 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.
-
63A slight but diverting series of set pieces.
-
60While 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.
-
60A bit of whimsy.
-
60The humor is slight, but the actors make the blarney go down easy.
-
60It's a film of myriad minor pleasures but scant compelling qualities.
-
50It's a sprightly, low-fiber comedy while the comedy lasts.
-
50This mild but amusing comedy wasn't written by Levinson, and the accents may be different, but the feel is similar.
-
30Writer Barry McEvoy and director Barry Levinson might want to brush up on the use of metaphor.
-
0In every way dreadful.
