Geoff Pevere Toronto Star Dec 14, 2007
1.5/4
It's not that the movie is utterly bereft of arresting moments. It's just that each of these prominently features one of the aforementioned supporting cast and not the so-called star. Go to Full Review
Rick Groen Globe and Mail Dec 14, 2007
2/4
Matters quickly regress into an antic romantic comedy, potentially buoyed by a strong cast but soon thwarted by a screenplay as leaden as it is predictable. Go to Full Review
Joe Leydon Variety Dec 3, 2007
Haphazardly conceived and clumsily executed, this aggressively quirky yet gratingly unfunny comedy appears set on the fast track to vidstore bins. Go to Full Review

Poe W Nov 14, 2018 This film was unwatchable.
Albus S Aug 25, 2018 Skip to the parts with Eli Wallach, because he's awesome. And for a sage old man, his character is refreshingly assertive and teaches the little brat a lesson more than once. See more
Draco M Feb 18, 2018 When we see what has left, what hasn't left and what is about to leave to leave it to ourselves to put a stop to it when we are not ready to leave and grow up on our own. See more
