70What lingers is the affectionate sense of family and place. Modest goals accomplished.
-
63There’s nothing offensive in the relentlessly upbeat Tio Papi. It’s just all so polite and saccharine. Life lessons are learned every few minutes, and the ending is telegraphed from the beginning.
-
60Although its formulaic storyline...holds no surprises, the film nonetheless exerts a certain charm.
-
50Ray Ray's belated journey into manhood never feels sentimental or precious. But it also never strikes an emotional tone that's more than blandly agreeable.
