Gives its subject too light a treatment for the life-affirming message to feel earned.

Michael Nordine, L.A. Weekly

It delivers broad laughs and tugs at the heartstrings without delving too deep - the very definition of a crowd-pleaser.

Anna Smith, Time Out
Rotten

If you loved "The Bucket List," you'll be exclaiming, "Incroyable!"

John Anderson, Newsday
Fresh

The easygoing posture and strong casting keep The Intouchables from stumbling over vexing questions of race, class and disability.

Joe Williams, St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Rotten

A box office phenomenon in France, this crowd-pleasing drama is based on a true story but sticks closely to the template for a Hollywood buddy movie.

J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader
