I regret to report that it’s an embarrassment all around, despite the talent involved...

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Aug 15, 2022

It doesn't really understand actual old people, and it seems to think that young people don't want to have fun.

| Aug 12, 2022

The outside allure of old age and retirement is not enough to hang the film on, and nothing about its treatment of its characters or its takeaways on social media fame come off as insightful or considered.

| Original Score: D | Aug 12, 2022

Virtually no one associated with this film should be congratulated in any way, having ruptured any bridges between Hollywood and senior citizens or for the shocking misuse of Diane Keaton’s considerable skills.

| Original Score: 0/4 | Aug 12, 2022

While the humor wobbles, the premise can’t be knocked: Whatever your age, find joy in the present.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 12, 2022

Somewhere inside Mack is an old lady, and somewhere inside this movie is a better one that never comes out.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 12, 2022

A body-swap comedy so daffy and weightless it nearly levitates.

| Original Score: C+ | Aug 12, 2022

A tale that could be described as “Freaky Friday” meets “Old.” It’s a cute concept, but turns out to be a lemon once you start kicking the tires.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 11, 2022

“Mack & Rita” feels, paradoxically, both too short and overlong.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Aug 11, 2022

The film misses an opportunity to portray the complexity of one’s 30s — and 70s. Still, “Mack & Rita” is a quirky movie that reminds the audience to live life to the fullest, whatever age they are.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 11, 2022

Falls as flat as week-old champagne.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Aug 11, 2022

Lessons will be learned, and there is plenty of slapstick. Although no relation to Buster, this Keaton has grown increasingly game for all manner of pratfall.

| Aug 11, 2022

Ultimately, Mack & Rita is a passable work at best.

| Original Score: C+ | Aug 11, 2022

A bewildering generational culture-war comedy that sides with every j’accuse that baby boomers hurl at millennials.

| Original Score: C | Aug 11, 2022

An odd, sweet and, at times, maybe even deranged film, full of charismatic performances and an earnest message about being yourself.

| Aug 11, 2022

At times disarming, at others plain silly, it takes a few daring leaps without quite avoiding middle-of-the-road sitcom territory.
