Review For The Magic of Belle Isle |
If this were real life and not a movie, Mr. Wildhorn would be written off as a crank and ostracized within a week. Mick LaSalle-San Francisco Chronicle
It's earnest, predictable and disposable. Kerry Lengel-Arizona Republic
You can quarrel with the smiley-face outcome of every ordeal, but the tenderness and optimism are so powerful and ingratiating that only a viewer with the darkest sensibility will go away untouched. Rex Reed-New York Observer
Shamelessly schmaltzy and predictable from first moment to last, Rob Reiner's The Magic of Belle Isle nonetheless manages to conjure a certain spell. Frank Scheck-Hollywood Reporter
Madsen, a strong actress who might have matched Freeman, is portrayed in varying shades of blandness. Even Freeman, good as his is, is held back here. Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor
So resolutely inoffensive that it flirts with Hallmark Hall of Fame territory. William Goss-Film.com
Freeman, an actor who can be fierce and disagreeable on screen and in person, is content to turn on the twinkle. Unfortunately, Reiner seems all too happy to let him. Roger Moore-McClatchy-Tribune News Service
Uninspiring sentimental inspirational pic. Dennis Schwartz-Ozus' World Movie Reviews
The problems with the dialog and story are overcome by the fact that this is a very nice, warm, romantic story with some magic in it. Robert Roten-Laramie Movie Scope
This is a cuddly puppy of a movie - what heart is so dark to do it violence? Philip Martin-Arkansas Democrat-Gazette
Corny, obvious, and shallow as a puddle, it traffics in outdated stereotypes, overused cliches, and ham-handed emotions. Trust me: your 80 year-old grandmother will love this movie. Mike McGranaghan-Aisle Seat
Probably only in theaters because ABC Family said, 'Sorry, this is a little hokey for us.' Matt Pais-RedEye
Sometimes it's difficult to remember that Reiner once directed This is Spinal Tap. Brian Orndorf-BrianOrndorf.com
The film lacks subtlety and never misses a chance to tug at the heartstrings, gradually drowning amid all of its melodramatic contrivances. Todd Jorgenson-Cinemalogue.com
Family drama has syrupy plot but fabulous performances. Sandie Angulo Chen-Common Sense Media
As sticky-sweet and textureless as a bowl of pudding, though an amused central performance from star Morgan Freeman continually finds nuance and the unexpected where there ultimately isn't any. Alison Willmore-Movieline
This screenplay is so poorly crafted, it trumps many of those that have eroded the Reiner legacy since '96. "Good script"? Per Inigo Montoya: "I do not think it means what you think it means." Kimberly Gadette-Doddle
'The Magic of Belle Isle' may not be magical, but many Morgan Freeman fans will probably enjoy his droll, loquacious performance in this uneven offering. Betty Jo Tucker-ReelTalk Movie Reviews
