Yes, you've seen this type of story before, but Standing Up, Falling Down shows that there can still be a little magic -- and charisma -- when the material is genuinely funny. February 21, 2020 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Funny and honest in equal measures, like a good stand-up routine, Standing Up, Falling Down uses a light touch to teach us there's always more to learn. February 21, 2020 | Full Review…

The movie from director Matt Ratner and Levittown-raised screenwriter Peter Hoare covers well-worn territory without generating much of a compelling reason for the audience to join them on it. February 20, 2020 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

Chemistry between the leads is key. Schwartz comfortably holds his own against the evergreen Crystal, twinkle still firmly in his eye. March 3, 2020 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

'Standing Up, Falling Down' falters by presenting too many awkward scenes that don't seem real. But Billy Crystal fans should enjoy his splendid performance as an alcoholic estranged from his angry son. February 25, 2020 | Full Review…

This dramedy is at its best when it puts its central, mismatched pair in the same place and allows Schwartz' and Crystal's shared chemistry to percolate. February 24, 2020 | Rating: 5/10 | Full Review…
