A would-be-wistful dramedy that's almost insufferably full of itself.

Bob Mondello, NPR.org

It's episodic and I'd say I liked about 60 percent of it and about 40 percent of it I could leave, but it's just enough for me to say it's worth seeing.

Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper

At one point he tells a love-struck friend, 'I think I'd proceed with caution.' I'd proceed just as cautiously to the movie.

Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal

Multiple narratives are fluidly interwoven and the writing is often inspired, resulting in dialogue that feels honest and insightful, if occasionally mannered.

Claudia Puig, USA Today

Director Robert Benton finds an emotional through line in a format that might have easily broken down into a series of disconnected anecdotes with little to nourish us.

Susan Walker, Toronto Star
