A promising start, then it slumps. Go to Full Review Justin Chang Variety 01/25/2007
A handful of chuckles, mostly courtesy of Whoopi Goldberg as the world's least encouraging mother, are weighed down by sluggish direction and an awful lot of dead time. Go to Full Review Kim Voynar Cinematical 02/18/2007
3/5
... a likable, mostly crowd-pleasing film with a lot of funny moments, and yet somehow it mysteriously falls a little flat in the latter half. Go to Full Review Zack Haddad Film Threat 01/30/2007
4/5
I enjoyed this film and I think so many others will enjoy if they have ever reminisced about the days past and the lost potential of their lives. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

See more 03/04/2016 It's not because i bought this movie that i have automaticly most love it e , Bit stupid , bit fun , bwaaaa SOMDVD See more 01/31/2010 Nepatiko man šis filmas :( See more nilufer e @Nilicim 02/22/2009 without whoopi goldberg's great acting this movie would suck big time. boring and dull. had a few funny moments but that's all. See more 08/14/2008 Despite of Whoopi Goldberg and Sharon Stone appearance, this movie was boring as hell. See more 07/27/2008 The premise of this film was great but that’s just it the idea of the film is bigger than the production, In a nut shell the lead character just isn’t charismatic enough to carry off this film, I feel bad casting has cost this film greatly, having said that the parts played by Sharon stone and whoopi Goldberg are played well and well received. I would not recommend this film to anyone but as a exercise in a waste of money and time and missed opportunities it is a great example. See more Read all reviews
