Welcome to the Rileys movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Manohla Dargis, New York Times: Sorrow suffuses "Welcome to the Rileys," if somewhat uneasily. Read more
David Edelstein, New York Magazine/Vulture: Ken Hixon's script contrives a lot of mutual-healing set pieces and then sadly but shrewdly aborts them... Read more
Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal: Ms. Leo finds a way to be affecting in spite of it all. It's as if her later scenes had been lifted from another movie. An enjoyable one. Read more
Nathan Rabin, AV Club: Welcome To The Rileys is way too humorless for a film in which Stewart repeatedly refers to her genitals as her "cooter." Read more
Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic: Terrific acting by James Gandolfini and Melissa Leo -- and a noble effort from Kristen Stewart -- goes a long way toward salvaging it. Read more
Ty Burr, Boston Globe: The story line invites such horselaughs that writer Ken Hixon and director Jake Scott handle it too gingerly, as if at the end of tongs. Read more
Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor: Doug's mission -- to reclaim Mallory's innocence and his own fatherhood -- is too deranged for the squeaky-clean treatment it receives here. Read more
Cary Darling, Dallas Morning News: Welcome to the Rileys is a reminder that good, or at least intriguing, things can come in what seem to be predictable packages. Read more
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly: The overload of soapsuds (and the production's excessive attention to on-location squalor) at times overwhelms the earnest performances of the three very good lead actors... Read more
Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles Times: Like a quiet conversation about despair and hope. Read more
Jake Coyle, Associated Press: Scott has the good sense not to bring everything to a neat conclusion. After all, this is really the Rileys' movie, and one about rebirth and letting go of demons. Read more
Connie Ogle, Miami Herald: "Welcome to the Rileys" sets out to be a study of grief and how to overcome it, but it rings too false to offer much hope - or entertainment. Read more
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger: The kind of movie performers often hail as a "labor of love." And audiences just find labored. Read more
Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News: If Welcome to the Rileys were a thicker-skinned movie -- if it were the movie it thinks it is -- so much of the outcome wouldn't be telegraphed the minute you read the premise. Read more
Lou Lumenick, New York Post: Audiences tend to avoid Kristen Stewart's non-Twilight movies like vampires fleeing daylight. Believe me, it's their loss. Read more
Rex Reed, New York Observer: You just wonder what Jake Scott, the director son of Ridley Scott, and Ken Hixon, the confused and inconsistent screenwriter, were smoking. Whatever it is, I'll have what they're having. Read more
Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer: It's as if Tony Soprano and Bella Swan had landed the two leads in somebody's amateur theater company, and this is what the lucky audience gets. Read more
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone: The actors and admirably sensitive director Jake Scott (son of Ridley) can't compensate for Ken Hixon's long slog of a script. Read more
David Jenkins, Time Out: Stewart lets it all hang out in a firecracker role but her damaged character never achieves the depth the weak material could have done with. Read more
Claudia Puig, USA Today: Stewart's idea of inhabiting this part seems to be to scowl a lot and let her hair go unwashed. The Twilight star doesn't have the depth or emotional agility to go toe-to-toe with Gandolfini and Leo. Read more
Peter Debruge, Variety: The sluggish pace serves to spotlight poignant scenes, but mostly feels as if the Rileys' family tragedy has left their 30-year marriage in a state of suspended animation. Read more
Dan Kois, Village Voice: Jake Scott's Welcome to the Rileys is so underwritten that, despite a more energetic performance, Stewart makes much less of an impression. Read more
Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post: "Welcome to the Rileys"? Thanks, but no thanks. Read more
