Review For People Like Us |
It seems ridiculous to dance around plot details when the movie allows the audience to get ahead of the story and to stay there as events laboriously unfold. Joe Morgenstern-Wall Street Journal
It's encouraging to see a wielder of studio heft test his mettle with the all-too-human. In a season of superheroes and their nemeses, Kurtzman takes on characters hurting, hoping, trying to rise to the occasion of family. Lisa Kennedy-Denver Post
People Like Us seems to have been devised for audiences who want to experience an entire year's worth of soap opera complications in a single sitting. Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor
Some of the strongest writing in any movie so far this year. Richard Roeper-Richard Roeper.com
A good payoff, but the middle drags. Laremy Legel-Film.com
What they've really done is stitch together a decade's worth of Katherine Heigl/Jennifer Aniston/Kate Hudson romantic comedies, and then cut out all the romance and most of the comedy. Stephen Whitty-Newark Star-Ledger
( ... ) the cinematography offers domestic drama pleasures in its own right. Thank you for caring, Salvatore Totino (Cinderella Man / Any Given Sunday). Graham Young-Birmingham Mail
There's an intriguing true story buried inside this overly structured drama, and by playing by simplistic screenwriting rules the filmmakers make everything trite and predictable. Rich Cline-Contactmusic.com
People like me who prefer subtlety just won't like People Like Us. Alex Zane-Sun Online
Kurtzman directs with a heavy hand and huge earnestness, but it boils down to trite platitudes about fatherhood and family. Christopher Tookey-Daily Mail [UK]
Nothing Like Us would have been more accurate. Mike McCahill-Guardian [UK]
Chris Pine's alpha obnoxiousness, even when deliberate, goes a long way to render this prodigal-son drama unappetising. Tim Robey-Daily Telegraph
Engaging, enjoyable and unabashedly sentimental drama, enlivened by a strong script and tremendous performances from a superb cast. Matthew Turner-ViewLondon
People like you may enjoy it. Tim Evans-Sky Movies
The ending is not only clever, but it will have an emotional kick, too, in all but the hardest of hearts. Graham Young-Birmingham Post
Banks makes a feisty soccer-mom, Wilde has nothing to do but look frostily on, and Pine smoulders pointlessly at everyone he meets, completely failing to suggest anything but complete vapidity. Eddie Harrison-The List
No gimmicks, quirks or high-concept premise: this is one of those rare, quietly engaging films that is simply about ordinary people trying to relate to each other. Stella Papamichael-Digital Spy
Fans of Pine's eyebrows will enjoy all the bushy furrowing, but otherwise, there are more important things to cry about. Ken McIntyre-Total Film
Certain elements of the plot are uneven but a number of captivating performances and an intriguing premise elevate People Like Us above standard drama fare. Ben Kendrick-ScreenRant
People Like Us is well-meaning and features good performances, but the story is a mess of contrivances and dumb narrative decisions that fail to hold any interest. Jonathan Lack-We Got This Covered
People Like Us wasn't made for me. If it was made for you, you'll probably like it, if you don't spend the entire running time waiting for two siblings to make out. William Bibbiani-CraveOnline
An affectionate drama marked and buoyed by engaging performances. The movie's apex of catharsis is a genuinely nice payoff, but the home stretch it takes to get there bends a bit too much toward convenience. Brent Simon-Screen International
... rises above its Lifetime-channel trappings ... Jim Lane-Sacramento News & Review
Examines the costs of broken, fatherless relationships in subtle but direct ways. Yet it is not a downer of a movie, nor is it superficially cheery. A great cast helps. Bruce Bennett-Spectrum (St. George, Utah)
Alex Kurtzman, in his directorial debut, delivers a compelling and emotional dramedy about a man who discovers he has a sister he knew nothing about. Kirk Honeycutt-honeycuttshollywood.com
Both improbable and dull. Ken Hanke-Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
