The movie is done with crispness, vigor, down-home humor, and an over-all tang of good feeling, but the pushing of buttons is the work of extraordinary calculation. January 24, 2014 | Full Review…

A Photoshopped image of reality that is bland, parochial, and stereotypically acted by a cast who have nothing like the subtlety and range of Trey Parker's puppets from Team America: World Police. March 26, 2010 | Rating: 1/5 | Full Review…

Bullock turns in a terrific, ball-breaking performance. Unfortunately, the rest of the film is painfully patronising. March 25, 2010 | Rating: 5/5 | Full Review…

A few momentary hiccups aside, the film plays out in sickly-sweet fashion, relentlessly shoving the Touhy's self-righteous values down the audiences' throat and never bothering to consider the wider social ramifications... March 25, 2010 | Rating: 1/4

Quite how Sandra Bullock deserved an Oscar for her one-note turn as bleached supermum Leigh-Anne is a mystery, since it transforms a potentially worthwhile character study into a grandstanding star vehicle. March 25, 2010 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

It felt tired and clichéd and the frequent and obvious emotional button-pushing failed to ignite any real response from me. September 11, 2019 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

This is a horrid film, and I hated it, and while, I suppose, you can't argue with a true story, you can always argue with the way it is told. August 30, 2018 | Full Review…

... I must say that I doubt I'd like the film as much had it not been Christmas and just a plain ole good family flick to see with my mom. September 12, 2017 | Rating: B | Full Review…

[It] is all about the family's altruism and turns a blind eye to silent Michael, with father Sean offering up the excuse: "Michael's gift is his ability to forget." I'm not convinced but that didn't stop me from enjoying the film and admiring Bullock. August 23, 2017 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

The movie is very familiar -- you've seen it all before -- but it succeeds at achieving its modest goals. January 24, 2014 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

It's certainly a heartwarming tale and Bullock delivers a big, ballsy performance as the indomitable Tuohy - but Oscar-worthy? What were they thinking? August 2, 2012 | Full Review…
