Top CriticThere is nothing worse than forced whimsy and this is forced whimsy at its worst.
12/26/00
The world needs more of these exercises in gritty adorableness like Patrick Stewart needs a hole in his head.
12/25/00
Makes feeble attempts to milk whatever silliness it can out of the IRA, violence, hatred, and other likewise charming subjects.
12/14/00
Some of the banter between the two leads is lightly entertaining, though none of the humor is sharp enough to relate to the tragic setting in any meaningful way.
12/22/00
It's the comedic equivalent of choking on one of those Lucky Charms marshmallows, only there's no leprechaun around to give you the Heimlich.
12/26/00
The comedy inherent in toupee gags gradually runs dry, and the interplay between the main characters sometimes doesn't offer enough sparks to pick up the slack.
12/26/00
Top CriticIt's unpretentious almost to the point of indifference, and thus never quite wrangles enough passion or conflict to fuel the story forward.

The film begins as an attempt to deal with an impossible situation through comedy, but it settles instead for the broadest possible gags.

'In trying to tackle the bigger issues the film loses what made it so quirky in the first place.'
01/23/03
All attempts at comedy seem to have been swept under the rug in a movie that at best could be called intermittently whimsical.
01/01/00
Occasionally cute, but certainly not as funny as it could and should have been.
12/25/00
An Everlasting Piece is just like getting a shoddy haircut from a timid barber.
12/22/00
Wears a bit thin.
12/22/00
This unusual effort never really finds a productive direction for its considerable wit and rambunctious energy.
