Reviews


75
Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Schwarzbaum
The troubles are broad, the plot twists giant, and the performances cheery in this carol to ethnic pride in Chicago's traditionally Latino Humboldt Park.
75
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
The performers breathe real life into the characters, starting with Elizabeth Pena and Alfred Molina.
75
Philadelphia Inquirer - Carrie Rickey
This unassuming and unexpectedly moving picture set in Chicago's Humboldt Park neighborhood is a sugarplum-and-sofrito affair centering on the Rodriguez household.
70
The Hollywood Reporter - Kirk Honeycutt
The situations tend toward contrivance, but the atmosphere is easygoing and the actors seem relaxed even when everyone at the family table is yelling.
70
Variety - Brian Lowry
So "The Family Stone" becomes "The Family Rodriguez," and to their credit, the able performers wring as much mileage as they can from such familiar material.
