AUDIENCE SCORE
Critic Consensus: In spite of its attempts to accurately record Frank McCourt's memoirs, the onscreen adaptation fails to capture any of the drama or humor of his life.

Critic Reviews for Angela's Ashes
All Critics (85) | Top Critics (26) | Fresh (44) | Rotten (41) | DVD (6)
For all its fidelity to the spirit and, in extended passages, to the letter of McCourt's book, however, Parker's film falls short.

The film is too often trapped in its own reverence and solemnity.

Lacking a heart.
Angela's Ashes is the soggiest dud of all the major holiday releases.
The film lacks development and dramatic coherence.

I'm sure the producers of Angela's Ashes meant well, but they got the wrong guy to direct it.
Audience Reviews for Angela's Ashes
Fantastic film. Could watch this over and over again. The cast were fantastic and the acting was even better. A poignant story that had you reaching for the tissues because you were either laughing too hard or crying.

Super Reviewer
Would have given it more, but didn't just out of spite.
Super Reviewer
The Hopes of a Mother. The Dreams of a Father. The Fate of a Child.
