2/5 |
It's a banal little indie ensemble comedy. Full Review |
||
|
2/4 |
Somewhere buried deep lurks a potentially interesting film. Full Review |
||
|
|
It is like an anthology that offers only one story that clicks. Full Review |
||
|
|
It's partly the characters and partly the performers who are responsible for generating more feelings in the afterlife than the film's Weehawken Six achieve in here and now. Full Review |
||
 |
We grownups need more of this kind of silly, sweet, knowing romantic movie. Full Review |
||
|
|
The story, such as it is, is hackneyed mush of the most contrived and patronizing kind. Full Review |
||
|
2/4 |
One of those exercises in romantic whimsy that misses its mark: It's alternately sappy and uncomfortably harsh. Full Review |
||
|
3.5/5 |
Reveals [Yellen's] mastery of artifice and theatricality in the service of eliciting genuine emotion and insight into human nature. Full Review |
||
|
|
In the end it's simply weak. Full Review |
||
|
1.5/5 |
A muddy, cliché-ridden sudsfest that lurches uncertainly between comedy and soap opera without finding its emotional or visual footing. Full Review |
||
|
|
See it now or wait for cable? It's a fine Line. Full Review |
||
|
|
The results here are decidedly mixed. Full Review |
||
|
|
It's telling ... that the most compelling performance in the film comes from Cindy Crawford, making her long-unawaited return to film after 1995's Fair Game.

|
|
The film tries hard to avoid cliché but doesn't get very far. Full Review |
||
|
1.5/4 |
You might think Weehawken is the epitome of dorkdom after the chimpanzee-less Line makes you choke on its old-fashioned, spiritless dust. Full Review |
||
|
3/4 |
A low-key entertaining comedy about four couples who fear losing their partners to others. Full Review |
