A fair-to-middling contemporary fantasy drama that, despite its surfeit of flashy effects, is mildly charming in the way it addresses the injustice of old folk having to live out their final years in decrepit homes.
Derek Adams, Time Out

By salvaging a troubled script with deep, committed, touching portrayals, Plummer and Walsh help prove Schroeder's points about how Hollywood isn't just the province of the rich, young and pretty.
Tasha Robinson, Chicago Tribune
Rotten
The movie works so hard at juggling its cliches that it fails to generate interest in its story.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Rotten
Overdirected and underwritten, this litany of Hallmark Channel tropes and button-pushing sentiment uses Tinseltown treacle to gussy up an otherwise forgettable message movie about humane treatment for the elderly.
Stephen Garrett, Time Out New York

A ramshackle but likeable story
