United States | Rolling Stone | "A rich blend of humor and heartbreak" | POS |
United States | Entertainment Weekly | "This is a deeply unpleasant movie masquerading as a heartfelt social commentary on life in these United States." | NEG |
United Kingdom | Empire | "A satisfying and grown-up flick that boasts all of James L. Brooks' strengths." | POS |
United States | Chicago Sun-Times | "The movie is not quite the sitcom the setup seems to suggest; there are some character quirks that make it intriguing." | POS |
United States | New York Post | "Whatever message Brooks was trying to put across with Spanglish, it clearly got lost in translaaaaaaaaaaation." | NEU |
United Kingdom | BBC | "Brooks' championing of good old-fashioned family values feels hopelessly nave and frankly unconvincing." | NEG |
United States | ReelViews | "Strong on characters and relationships, but weak on some of the details that would elevate it from merely good to great." | POS |
United States | USA Today | "A performer's showcase. While the pleasantly sentimental comedy doesn't bowl you over with cinematic technique, it's likely to make audiences happy." | POS |
