Interestingly, there's a VERY sharp divide here--the younger critics (Holdren, Windman, Zacharay Stewart at TheaterMania) were all positive, while the strongly negative reviews came from the older critics (Brantley, Marks, Jones). (I don't know where A.D. Amorosi at Variety (who liked it) and Jessica Derschowitz at EW (who didn't) fall.)

I haven't seen it since Red Bank and can't weigh in myself, but I can spot a pattern.

Seth, seeing it next month

Peter Travels liked it, and I don't think he's exactly a spring chicken.

Charles McNulty of the LA Times, who has also been around, panned it.

Seth, also noting that he's famously kind of a pushover with movies
