Here Today

"[It] doesn’t fully succeed in any department. But it does provide some alternately amusing and touching moments" 

"Movies are allowed to be more than one thing (...) but all those qualities must harmonize. 'Here Today' is a mess (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)" 

"'Here Today,' as good as some of it is, is a watchable movie with a soft center. But it makes you very glad to see Billy Crystal take center stage again." 

"For a film that seeks to be so humanist, there’s only one truly human character in it. As likable as he is, that oversight is impossible to ignore." 

"It’s hard to embrace a canned 'live in the moment and laugh as it goes by' ethos in a movie where even death becomes impossible to take seriously." 

"The pairing of Crystal and Haddish kicks off with such cross-generational comic snap that 'Here Today' looks ready to provide just the laughs we need for our pandemic blues. And for a while, before a downer subplot torpedoes the ha-ha, it does" 

"'Here Today' tries hard to be warm and witty and ultimately devastating and poignant, but it remains firmly in the mushy middle of sitcom sentiment"
