This is the director's most likeable film in ages, even if it's insubstantial, overlong and, frankly, a touch redundant.

DiCaprio has the breeze and aplomb to keep it all bouncing along.

Breezily enjoyable but thin.
Peter Rainer, New York Magazine/Vulture
Fresh
A delicious cat-and-mouse game flecked with intriguing Oedipal undertones.
David Ansen, Newsweek
Fresh
A gently funny, sweetly adventurous film that makes you feel genuinely good, that is to say, entirely unconned by false sentiment or sharp, overmanipulative Hollywood practices.
Richard Schickel, TIME Magazine
