USA Today
One of the best films of the year. - 90
Variety
Unflaggingly genial and universally funny. - 88
Chicago Tribune
It's fresh, funny, biting, fast-paced and reasonably perceptive about people and their problems. - 88
Charlotte Observer
Turn a potentially unforgettable movie into a broad crowd-pleaser that sustains itself on three acting performances. - 80
Washington Post
Even the digressions are funny. - 75
Christian Science Monitor
Energetic acting and perky filmmaking help this likable Argentine comedy-drama avoid the sentimentality that intermittently threatens it. - 75
Portland Oregonian
A movie that will wear you out and make you misty even when you don't want to be. It's a gushy, sometimes-maudlin, often-charming movie that highlights the importance of little things. - 75
Philadelphia Inquirer
It's a wise and endearing little film.
