Good Will Hunting but in the Midwest and minus the tortured math genius, psychological breakthroughs, and convincing local color.
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe

Every bromide, plot twist and stock character arrives right on time and, to give director James Burke his due, function as well as they ever have.
Neva Chonin, San Francisco Chronicle
Fresh
A sensitive and touching story about a distressed family and the emotional glue that holds it together.
Jeff Strickler, Minneapolis Star Tribune

Most successful in capturing the emotional elements of its story, the film relies on its excellent cast to balance out sketchily drawn characters and the unfortunate obviousness of its plot.
