Our Review

Near-perfect comedy-drama from Clooney and co

Nick Pearson, MovieFix
This is a deeply insightful look at a family in crisis, balancing moments of heavy emotions with that of sharp, often hysterically funny humour. Read More

Utterly boring, slow and a waste of the money it cost to go and see it. Pure CRAP.

very disappointing. I was expecting sooo much more from this, but instead got a rather unrealistic reaction from Clooney's character to a dreadful situation. I agree the daughter stole the show.

Loved this film. It was a thoughtful, observant and funny movie. I enjoyed watching all the family 'drama' and relationships play out. A movie that stays in your mind long after you leave the cinema.
