"A loose-knit, character-driven comedy that percolates with good-vibe amusement" | ||
|
|
|
"Slight but consistently entertaining." | ||
|
|
|
"Directing seems to suit Luke, who also does some of his best work to date on screen." | ||
|
|
|
"The appeal of The Wendell Baker Story depends on how charming you find the Wilson brothers, with their chipmunk grins and hip smart-aleck attitude. For my taste, a little goes a long way." | ||

|
|
"In large part the film succeeds" | ||
 |
|
