...a decent premise that's employed to watchable yet erratic effect...

Hartford Courant

All in all, the McTeagues are a throughly unpleasant, back- biting group, complete with a boozer wife and a philandering husband, but not a particularly funny family.

Adorável rever os filmes de Michael J. Fox, uma beleza quase infantil, sua carinha eternamente juvenil, um talento e carisma apaixonante, o draminha bem convincente, recheado de humor, piadinhas engraçadinhas, tudo bem bonitinho… E o plot twist final, impagavelmente maravilhoso, adorei...

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
