Reviews
|
The Hollywood Reporter -
The film is emotionally manipulative, to be sure, but it's ultimately hard to resist, especially given the quality of the lead performances.
|
|
Los Angeles Times -
Somehow Murphy manages to lift his dignified, all-knowing servant character off the page, giving a meticulously composed performance in a vehicle that can’t help but feel superficially repackaged.
|
|
The Seattle Times -
Get out your handkerchiefs, but don’t expect to believe a minute of this vastly improbable tale.
|
|
Washington Post -
Murphy is fine as the title character, although his performance consists mostly of suppressing all of his usual shtick. He certainly doesn’t endow Mr. Church with any unexpected depths. But then neither does the script.

|
The Playlist -
It flails for the heartstrings, but instead of reaching them, it only tugs at that muscle that makes you roll your eyes at its old-fashioned, melodramatic attempts at emotion.
