In a time when our cities are wounded, movies like Grand Canyon can help to heal.
75
Grand Canyon is most gripping when Kasdan shows people waking up to the world and finding that they need more than bromides.
70
The graceful and affecting Grand Canyon, with its flock of fortysomethings, is much more than just "The Bigger Chill."
70
Ridiculously ambitious, though often likable and touching in its sincerity.
60
As sanctimonious as it is sincere, this is a well-meaning picture that is seriously stuck on itself, that can't hide its air of self-satisfaction. [25 Dec 1991]
50
Canyon is similarly slick, though even more heavy-handed in hammering home its points. [26 Dec 1991]
38
The cast is equally strong (especially McDonnell), but the vast subject and the shifting settings force Kasdan all over the map. [10 Jan 1992]
