A human-scale comedy that reaches across generations to tickle, connect and embrace.
75
About reaching out, about seeing the other person, about having something to say and being able to listen. So what if the ending is in autopilot? At least it's a flight worth taking.
70
Christine Lahti, making her directorial debut, wrings good laughs and strong emotion throughout, largely through the performances.
50
The harder this film tries to be quirky and edgy, the more it feels like a run-of-the mill TV movie.
42
By the film's interminable, unforgivably embarrassing third act it sinks in a sticky swamp of sentimentality.
30
One hundred and nine minutes of drama and not a single moment rings true.
16
Intelligent teens will hate this film, and adults will just be embarrassed.
