  1. 67
    Had Williams chopped away more pointedly at the rambling script, he might've had something memorable.
  2. Ultimately, it's more an emotional hodgepodge than a compassionate look at real human problems.
  3. 38
    The Wal-Mart of cinematic soap operas. One-stop shopping for your emotional movie needs.
  4. Sloshes between comedy and drama, never quite hitting stride as either.

  1. This is one of Natalie Portman's best movies. However,it is a little silly. But I still highly recommend you see it. The soundtrack is great too. Don't miss it. Expand
