Charlotte Observer
An unforced, sweet-natured story about people who find small ways to touch others and rediscover the good in themselves. - 75
Chicago Sun-Times
The more it builds, the more it grows on you. - 67
Austin Chronicle
Cube is excellent as the doughy, rumpled ex-somebody who finds new life in helping to save somebody else's. - 60
Washington Post
The characters have an equally realistic appearance that's rarely seen in Hollywood productions these days - 60
Los Angeles Times
Cube fills the bill as the shaggy, aimless Curtis, a veritable ghost of glories past. It's not a particularly layered performance, but it works. - 58
The A.V. Club

Variety
