    In spirit, and sheer joie de vivre, it's everything the movie business should aspire to. Win Win exemplifies movies the way they oughtta be.

    A film with a big heart; it's an eccentric dramedy and a crowd pleaser.

    Funny, agreeable and thoroughly enjoyable, if a little bit too neat and fortuitous in sorting out its entangled strands.

    The power behind this movie is in how it reveals the lengths to which normally honest, educated, hard-working middle class Americans have to go in this economy just to keep paying the mortgage. It's a morality tale, a tale of sin and redemption, and a slice of life look into the hearts of those (most of us) who are just trying to get by and do the best for those we love. Paul Giamatti is excellent, Bobby Canavale is hilarious, but it's Amy Ryan and the new kid (playing Kyle) who really steal the movie. A must-see.… Expand

    I am so tired of seeing Paul Giamatti play the husband of lovely talented women. This must be male wish fulfillment casting. Although well acted, this is a very boring, predictable film, sentimental film. It would play much better on TV.… Expand
