50Too many clichés and too much uneven acting dilute its impact.
-
65Has an unforgettable artery of hot-blooded talent coursing straight through it.
-
38Kinsella, in his feature debut, milks cliches, caricatures and an unlikely set of coincidences to tie things up in a neat bundle.
-
38Essentially a downscale TV movie about spousal and child abuse.
-
30A modest but engaging mixture of comedy and drama that derives most of its energy from the performance of Callie Thorne.
-
40Simply exhausting; it wants to be funny and sad and lighthearted and serious all at once.
-
50The picture is stronger the closer it sticks to the streets and raw emotions and the more it avoids routine dramatic crutches and forced comedy.
-
20Child abuse, domestic violence, and the struggles of single mothers deserve better treatment than this.
