Read full review at The A.V. ClubHilarious and heartfelt, it’s a tale to be treasured.
Read full review at EmpireA bit disapointed with this one. Giamatti character is bit too silly for an Oscar performance - and let's be honest - we have seen this before.
Giamatti deserved his Globe, and the rest of the cast more than pull their weight, but Payne's remarkably skillful control of tone and the lived-in feel also make his latest movie one of the most enjoyable in his ouevre. And it's no less...
...a consistently smart, funny movie about people that are easy to root for and like ones we know.
