At no point did I feel bored or condescended to, and even though the ending may be overwrought, it had me gripping my chair.
Reyhan Harmanci, San Francisco Chronicle
Overview
A coming of age dramedy where infidelity, real estate, and Lyme disease have two families falling apart on Long Island in the early eighties. Scott, 15, is at the point in his life when he finds out that the most important people around him, his father, his mother, and his brother, are not exactly who he thought they were. They are flawed and they are human.

Solid, but forgettable.
Stephen Garrett, Time Out
Rotten
Another film that looks back at late seventies' suburbia with a mixture of tenderness and condescension.
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
Rotten
The offbeat Lymelife is so clearly leeching off other suburban-dysfunction films that it could have been titled The Lice Storm.
Joe Williams, St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Fresh
Even in its darkest moments there are flashes of warm comedy and gentle farce that lend the story considerable credibility and charm.
Greg Quill, Toronto Star
