Chicago Sun-Times
A wise and touching film with a lot of love in it. I may have given the wrong impression: It's not entirely about drinking, it's just entirely about a drinker. - 63
Chicago Tribune
Thanks to the actors and the way the movie lets them loose, it's often funny or moving at all the right moments. - 60
Variety
Writer-director Matt Mulhern confidently anchors his drama-comedy about an alcoholic Atlantic City pit boss with good writing and sharp dialogue. Script never treats characters as less than human. - 60
Chicago Reader
This downbeat indie drama gives the leads a few excellent scenes together, and they acquit themselves credibly. But there's also a fair amount of wilted comedy from the stock supporting characters. - 40
Film Threat
Loaded with unoriginal ideas, weak comedic concepts, and underwhelming emotional climaxes, the movie is the definition of bland. - 40
The A.V. Club
Duane Hopwood is suffused with hangdog dreariness, equivalent to a unsoled shoe treading rainwater. - 38
Philadelphia Inquirer
A fairly dreadful melodrama drenched in self-pity.
