ReviewsUSA Today - What results is a disarmingly honest tale of affection, both romantic and filial., St. Louis Post-Dispatch - A lovably quirky comedy-drama with a rhythm all its own., Entertainment Weekly - The movie darts, dreams, and sometimes seems to dance. The great Plummer, meanwhile, creates an inspiring, fully rounded man in late bloom, and McGregor responds with a performance to match.
