Interminable, typical Albert Brooks

One of Brooks' warmest and wittiest projects. Nice to see such a soft side of Streep.

This is a comedy that has something on its mind.

A sweet, mildly profound romantic comedy.

Priceless comedy with a message-rich heart, mild swearing.
August 18, 2005
An underrated gem that explores the long-term consequences of our everyday actions.

It could have just as easily been set in Dr. Freud's office, with his patient spilling his guts out on the couch.

The movie is funny in a warm, fuzzy way, and it has a splendidly satisfactory ending.
September 10, 2002
It just gives us a satisfying idea of what life's really about, while remaining a smart comedy with an edge.

Albert Brooks' best movie...
June 12, 2006
Though visually impressive, the film shows problems with tonality, which veers from outright comedy to earnest therapy session--the "seize the day" lesson is not strong enough for a full-length picture.

This is definitely Brooks's day in court, and he makes comic heaven of it.
