Hollywood ReporterBarry Garron

What makes this movie such a treat to watch isn't the suspense but the passion of the characters and the obvious joy the cast takes in playing them.

Washington PostChip Crews

This buoyant and sure-handed film benefits from picturesque wine-country locations and a certain authenticity of spirit. The loves and hates and tensions are nuanced and textured -- these people have a history, and we're always aware of it.

New York PostLinda Stasi

This made-for-TV movie could have been yet another Italians-as-cute-stupid-housepets setup, but it's done with a deft, loving hand... and it's funny and sweet without tasting like, well, White Zinfandel.

The talented Patricia Heaton is miscast as Sara Anselmi. [2 Dec 2005, p.73]

VarietyBrian Lowry

Mostly manages to charm despite its high-decibel level and modicum of originality.

Wall Street JournalNancy DeWolf Smith

To say that Ms. Kazan steals the show is not a compliment in this instance. Between them, she and Mr. Lo Bianco turn what might have been a sweet little tale of middle-aged love into a farce about over-the-top seniors.

Boston GlobeMatthew Gilbert

Let's just say that spending two hours with Kazan and her garish monster should win us an Emmy, for best patience with a performance.

Jackie S gave it an8:
Fun and romantic. Romeo and Juliette in Napa Valley.

Libbie C gave it a10:
Good, clean family film. Makes one feel warm and fuzzy on the inside. Great for a rainy day. Hope it is put on video soon.

A. Calder gave it a2:
Movie fell flat. This has been done before and done better. Ms. Kazan, normally very funny, looked almost unkempt, and Spano & Keaton had no chemistry at all. I wanted to like it, but couldn't.

Sherry C gave it a9:
Although predictable, I enjoyed this "fluff" movie. It's not one that I would watch over and over though. btw, I wonder how many of the folks who said 'Brian' was too young to be Heaton's fiance' realize that he's her husband in REAL LIFE? Ciao.

gladys d gave it a10:
This was and excellent movie. This should be put on video as soon as possible. It was so nice to be able to watch a movie without violence and super jets.
