      The screenplay draws Smiths parents broadly, caricaturing them as an embarrassed adolescent might, but their behavior in the end veers from exasperating comedy to a high stakes melodrama that doesnt sit well with what precedes it. ( Read More )
    • Gary Goldstein

      A strained cross between broad, culture clash comedy and wistful coming of age tale, Growing Up Smith is a well intentioned fizzle that misses what should have been an easily reachable mark. ( Read More )
    • Neil Genzlinger

      The film has accidental topicality now with the debate over immigration swirling, but you dont need to burden it with politics to be touched by its tale of a child who is pulled by two very different cultural worlds. ( Read More )
    • Joanna Connors

      While Good Ol Boy doesnt reach the sublime heights or laugh out loud comedy of that Christmas and Cleveland classic, it shares its tone of affection and nostalgia for parental quirks and good boys on a quest. ( Read More )
    • Avi Offer

      Oh, and theres also a very memorable shower scene, although it doesnt come close to the terrifying shower scene from Psycho. ( Read More )
