Its a shame that so much of iFamily Squares/i tries so hard to be goofy: When the film allows itself to be intimate, lovely moments occur.

A lighthearted and touching look at the feuds, resentments and secrets that can surface when someone dies.

There’s not much conflict that happens in Family Squares, but it is a fun and experimental movie.

Newport This Week (RI)

The cast is uniformly great, but Martindale, Dowd, the inspired Judy Greer, and young Elsie Fisher as the grieving great-granddaughter who is Mabel’s closest ally, are the standouts in this intimate “home movie.”

Neither terrible nor great, Family Squares is a flawed comedy-drama that's elevated by the talent of the movie's cast members. It's an uneven but well-acted movie about a family gathering on videoconference calls.

If I see a nasty family drama like this one I would expect it to be funnier, wittier and more acerbic.

Thanks to the impeccably cast dynamic, presented and empathetically directed in a timely manner that advocates its gimmicky format, this family drama is hilariously executed with general warmth it instills to a hearteningly comfort extent. (B+)

This is kinda the good side of melodrama and family fare. It was good fun in general. Lotta funny bits throughout along with the family dramatics. Hey, it's another movie or show where I don't hate Ann Dowd. Plus, it's Dowd in a movie with Margo Martindale. And I don't hate either of them. Dog bless Judy 'Cheryl/Carol' Greer. Oh the Winkler waterworks, and Meathead as narrarator FTW!. 3 stars straight up.
