Linda Barnard Toronto Star Life's a Breeze spins a sitcom plot into passable yet predictable entertainment. Rated: 2/4 Nov 6, 2014 Full Review Radheyan Simonpillai NOW Toronto Flanagan and appealing newcomer Kelly Thornton, as Nan's teenage granddaughter, deliver the only tolerable performances, probably because they don't say much, and like us, just observe the silliness on display. Rated: 2/5 Nov 6, 2014 Full Review Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com As amiable and windswept as its title promises, for better or worse. Rated: 2/4 Sep 19, 2014 Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com While the film may play on the slight side, it's engaging and enjoyable. Rated: 3/5 Jul 10, 2019 Full Review Paul Chambers Movie Chambers Yes, if it wasn't for the salty language, this might just be a TV movie. But, I liked it. Rated: B Jan 24, 2015 Full Review Robert Roten Laramie Movie Scope Despite the occasional emotional overtones, this is really a very light and enjoyable comedy.

Shay W It was hard to watch. The characters were poorly written and not many were likeable. The story, nonsensical. A pity as Fionnuala Flanagan is a quite a force to be reckoned with when given a good role. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/26/24 Full Review Audience Member Funny and heartwarming film about an Irish family and the search for an old mattress containing a fortune. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Grandmother and granddaughter watch the madness of Dublin in poor economic times swirl around them and at the end they find some quiet joy. It made me smile. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member not much of a "comedy"... Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member While this movie offers some amusing and charming moments, the filmmaker seems to be totally content to follow the standard by-the-numbers style of mediocre TV movies. Curiously, elements of the story seem to beg for further examination but the filmmaker has opted to ignore the pleas. Neither good or bad -- Life's A Breeze is just sort of limply there. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Life's a Breeze is easy going fare, light comedy set in Ireland. An old lady's family raids her house while she's not there, gives it a thorough cleaning and upgrade. In the process there's a fortune in Euros hidden in her mattress, and we're off to the races, or should I say landfills. Good family fun if you're in a silly mood.
