Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: Ouch! Spade goes sweet and gooey.
Rotten: The movie may appeal to fans of Spade's trademark smug and blandly disaffected comic style. And his delivery occasionally fits the material. But too many segments are flat and schlocky.
Rotten: You sense Spade is scared of what finding too much of himself in Dickie might mean.
Rotten: A schmaltz sand wich, with a fill ing of family-friendly sap smushed between two slices of very funny E! True Hollywood Story- style schtick.
