Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 3 out of 11
  2. Negative: 3 out of 11
  1. Terrific performances by Anthony LaPaglia, Eric Stoltz and Caroleen Feeney infuse this well-written comic drama with a realistic ease.
  2. The first hour is eloquent and true. Once the story takes its big turn toward tragedy, though, it becomes predictable and sentimental.
  3. Unfortunately, what you'll remember most about the movie is its banal script and dialogue so ripe it almost laughs at itself.
