This is the movie I believe Burns has been trying to make since The Brothers McMullen, 11 years ago.

Traffics in such familiar territory as sibling rivalries, generational estrangements and broken dreams. But it slowly, sometimes too slowly, connects with the viewer.
Philip Wuntch, Dallas Morning News

The Groomsmen may be low-cal Cassavetes or Secrets and Lies for mooks, but Burns knows his turf. The marvel is that after seven films he's still finding fresh grass.
Ty Burr, Boston Globe

In a film of minor ambition, [the characters are] all worthy company.
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
Rotten
The problem is that Burns -- who insists on writing all his own material -- isn't a very good writer.
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger
