Susan Stark, Detroit News: Read more
Janet Maslin, New York Times: All of [the cast members], especially Ms. Lyonne and Mr. Arkin, project a crazy sincerity that turns this personal and nostalgic comedy into a very true story indeed. Read more

Jack Mathews, Los Angeles Times: Generally Jenkins shows few rookie jitters, and she got excellent performances from the rest of her cast. Read more
Emanuel Levy, Variety: Funny, well acted comedy from a new director whose career shuld be watched Read more

Ruthe Stein, San Francisco Chronicle: A hilarious comedy that never strains to be funny. Read more
