It’s episodic and I’d say I liked about 60 percent of it and about 40 percent of it I could leave, but it’s just enough for me to say it’s worth seeing.

Reviews for Feast of Love
Top CriticAt one point he tells a love-struck friend, 'I think I'd proceed with caution.' I'd proceed just as cautiously to the movie.
09/28/07
Top CriticMultiple narratives are fluidly interwoven and the writing is often inspired, resulting in dialogue that feels honest and insightful, if occasionally mannered.
09/28/07
Top CriticDirector Robert Benton finds an emotional through line in a format that might have easily broken down into a series of disconnected anecdotes with little to nourish us.
09/28/07
Top CriticThere's a people-are-good feeling permeating the film, which is difficult to resist.
09/28/07
Top CriticWhat's promised to be a feast ends up as only a wan TV dinner.
09/28/07
Top CriticYou can see better stuff on TV any night of the week.
09/28/07
Top CriticAll the couples have palpable chemistry, and Kinnear and Freeman seem so convinced they're in a respectable movie that they actually make it one.
09/28/07
Top CriticDirector Robert Benton and screenwriter Allison Burnett tell a sobering, adult-geared tale of love's highs, lows and maddening twists and turns.
09/28/07
Top CriticA bit too involved and convenient at times, but still classy and heartfelt all the way.
09/28/07
Top CriticFeast of Love the movie is less specific than The Feast of Love the book, but it has its heart in the right place -- that longing place.
09/28/07
Top CriticBenton has made better movies about doomed marriages (Kramer vs. Kramer), but this one has no organic reality.
09/28/07
Top CriticThis heart-warmer by Robert Benton has some of the tender wisdom and humor of his other features.
09/28/07
Top CriticFeast of Love is [Benton's] easiest movie to like since 1994's Nobody's Fool, and it's immediately homey.
09/28/07
Top CriticThere's an occasional scene that works -- a funny sequence where Bradley bargains for his dog with a kid -- but as the movie progresses, the melodrama is piled on with a bulldozer.
09/28/07
Top CriticPlaying a canny old papa bear dispensing nuggets of advice to a flock of unruly cubs in Feast of Love Morgan Freeman has a role he could act in his sleep.
09/28/07
Top CriticAs a meditation on the vicissitudes of love, on the need for people to connect, and the struggles that come by both making and missing those connections, the movie is wading-pool deep.
09/28/07
Top CriticPretentious and precious.
09/27/07
Top CriticThe script weaves three interlocking stories in unlikely ways and relies on random acts of violence, fate and God for dramatic complications that the characters aren't fleshed-out enough to whip up on their own.
09/27/07
Top CriticThis feast is more like an artfully arranged appetizer plate.
