You feel embarrassed for the actors and the crew that had to film them.

Vacillates uncertainly between unfunny farce and ineffectual melodrama.

Provides a decent-looking transfer of the movie in its original 2.35:1 aspect ratio widescreen format.

What eventually makes "A Smile Like Yours" unbearable is, like a phone call from a vapid neighbor, the blessed thing just won't end!
