An undemanding formula picture that's a lot of superficial fun and not much more.

Variety
May not be great cinema, but its broad, crowdpleasing qualities should make it a welcome night out for femmes.

The saving grace to the utter predictability in Christina Mengert and Joseph Muszynski's screenplay is reasonably personable characters and spirited acting by director Bruce Beresford's cast.

None of it quite works, but it seems Beresford did his damnedest to try to pull it off.

Slant Magazine
What saves the film from being simply a schematic mother-daughter reconciliation drama is both the reluctance and prickliness that Catherine Keener brings to her character.
