Reviews
|
Entertainment Weekly -
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.
|
|
Chicago Sun-Times -
The performers breathe real life into the characters, starting with Elizabeth Pena and Alfred Molina.
|
|
Philadelphia Inquirer -
This unassuming and unexpectedly moving picture set in Chicago's Humboldt Park neighborhood is a sugarplum-and-sofrito affair centering on the Rodriguez household.
|
|
The Hollywood Reporter -
The situations tend toward contrivance, but the atmosphere is easygoing and the actors seem relaxed even when everyone at the family table is yelling.
|
|
Variety -
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.
