	Author	Review
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"This comedy about a death is a funeral for the audience (...) Bateman and Fey rise above the material (...) Rating: ★½ (out of four)	NEG
United States	Scott Foundas Variety	"A sprawling ensemble dramedy that starts out like a full-tilt sit-com and gradually migrates to a place of genuine feeling."	POS
United States	Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"Everyone here is obnoxious to one degree or another, but enough of it amusing in an appalling sort of way that it's difficult to not be (...) won over by the brashness of the compulsively uncensored talk and behavior."	POS
United States	Rodrigo Perez IndieWire	"While ultimately disposable with almost nothing insightful to say about family (...) at least the movie has the decency and self-respect to not grovel or beg you to love it."	NEU
United States	Lou Lumenick New York Post	"Doesn't quite live up to its stellar cast, though there still are plenty of laughs"	POS
United States	Claudia Puig USA Today	"As a film it feels overly familiar, with some amusing scenes, but not enough to make for a wholly satisfying experience (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)"	NEU
United States	Chris Nashawaty Entertainment Weekly	"The movie is so festooned with clichés it proves that Tolstoy was dead wrong when he wrote that every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way"	NEG
