Quote:
"The main virtue of the workmanlike adaptation by director Anne Wheeler [...] is that it remains true to characters who are too good to be happy with their self-centred nature, but not quite good enough to change. The downside is the homey sentimentality (typified by the intrusive, jaunty guitar music) that strives to hold together the script's loosely episodic structure."
