A sweet, mildly profound romantic comedy.

Interminable, typical Albert Brooks

It could have just as easily been set in Dr. Freud's office, with his patient spilling his guts out on the couch.

This is a comedy that has something on its mind.

An underrated gem that explores the long-term consequences of our everyday actions.

One of Brooks' warmest and wittiest projects. Nice to see such a soft side of Streep.

The movie is funny in a warm, fuzzy way, and it has a splendidly satisfactory ending.

It just gives us a satisfying idea of what life's really about, while remaining a smart comedy with an edge.

Though visually impressive, the film shows problems with tonality, which veers from outright comedy to earnest therapy session--the "seize the day" lesson is not strong enough for a full-length picture.

Albert Brooks' best movie...

This is definitely Brooks's day in court, and he makes comic heaven of it.

Priceless comedy with a message-rich heart, mild swearing.
