There is a marvelous balance in that we have an equal rooting interest in each of the main characters. It isn't a mere satire.

Reviews for Irreconcilable Differences
I had much more sympathy for the child in the film and, sadly, she takes a back seat.
We like these people even as they sink further and further into a black hole, and we root for their sensible, level-headed, uncommonly mature daughter to set them straight.
Buscando as lágrimas ou o riso do espectador de forma maniqueísta, o filme chega a se confundir, tentando fazer graça com o sofrimento de uma criança.
