	Author	Review
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"A schmaltz opera that indulges Robin Williams' most melancholy tics and themes."	NEG
United States	Nicolas Rapold The New York Times	"The movie is predictably sentimental at its root, but it's also meant to be comedy, partly resting on Mr. Williams's energetic but failed attempt to play a jerk."	NEG
United States	Elizabeth Weitzman New York Daily News	"[It] feels disconnected from reality in every emotional way. (...) Rating: ★ (out of five)"	NEG

United States	Sara Stewart New York Post	"[Williams'] presence feels like epic miscasting in this underwritten dramedy. (...) Rating: ★ (out of four)"	NEG
