A promising start, then it slumps.

Variety

A handful of chuckles, mostly courtesy of Whoopi Goldberg as the world's least encouraging mother, are weighed down by sluggish direction and an awful lot of dead time.

... a likable, mostly crowd-pleasing film with a lot of funny moments, and yet somehow it mysteriously falls a little flat in the latter half.

Rated: 3/5

I enjoyed this film and I think so many others will enjoy if they have ever reminisced about the days past and the lost potential of their lives.

Rated: 4/5

Despite of Whoopi Goldberg and Sharon Stone appearance, this movie was boring as hell.

The premise of this film was great but thatâs just it the idea of the film is bigger than the production, In a nut shell the lead character just isnât charismatic enough to carry off this film, I feel bad casting has cost this film greatly, having said that the parts played by Sharon stone and whoopi Goldberg are played well and well received. I would not recommend this film to anyone but as a exercise in a waste of money and time and missed opportunities it is a great example.
