Rotten
A third-rate Robin Williams movie that didn't even have the decency to hire Robin Williams.
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Shallcross fails to infuse the proceedings with the wit or distinctiveness necessary to lift it above the crop of its so many similar-themed predecessors.

Both movies have familiar and even hokey aspects, but they're also sincere rather than cynical, and there's something affecting about the very similar messages they're peddling.

There's not a single surprise or moment of dramatic tension.
