With a more streamlined script, or even fewer characters and more developed relationships, "Abe" could have made a real impact. As it stands, there are too many cooks in the kitchen. Go to Full Review

3.5/4
A great measure of "Abe"'s success is that it made me hungry. More than that, it's the first movie in quite some time to make me smile. Go to Full Review
Michael Ordoña Los Angeles Times Apr 18, 2020

Han L Apr 9, 2019 Cute and hopeful. A little rough around the edges in places although that adds to its charm. It will stick with you.
