2.5/5

It's a confidently made, well written and handsomely performed scenario that gets a surprising amount of mileage from overly familiar dramatic tensions.

3/5

Garcia and Farmiga's appealing chemistry supplies the pep missing from the limp script and although the prevailing mood is cosily light-hearted, there's a bittersweet undertone to the film.

Nice little movie about what could never be as two strangers (parents) accompany their kids to a college tour and meet and squirrel away for their own tour. Unrequited relationships between 2 adults are painful…

Ferris Bueller for adults? Two parents are taking their respective kids to a college tour, and of course they are opposites, but they strike up a friendship and play hooky from the tour - hijinx ensue. It isn't rip roaring funny or anything, but it is engaging enough to watch. The leads are ok, but geez Garcia has to be like 20 years older than the female lead. The acting is pretty good, but the script, after a strong start, starts to peter and gasp.

it was ok overall, adult childish behavior on campus for the day sums it up, not much to the story.

At Middleton is a movie for a not-too-serious wintry evening watch. Although often contrived, this lighthearted film is brightened by the idyllic college campus backdrop and the engaging performances of Andy Garcia and Vera Farmiga .
