Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Fresh
A small sweet film, the sort of unexpected pleasure movie fans often find at a small film festival or on some second-tier cable channel.

"Life's a Breeze" is a small film with a considerable amount of charm. Comic and idiosyncratic, it takes a warmhearted view toward its protagonists while still seeing them for exactly who they are.
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times

"Life's a Breeze" is ultimately about as cutting and memorable as its title.
Ben Kenigsberg, New York Times
Rotten
The film's surface naturalism and visual grit simply cover up a screenplay that's as full of crap as the average recent Hollywood comedy.
Steve Erickson, Village Voice
