Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune
Resentments, pregnancies, cancer, spousal abuse and the struggle of a recovering alcoholic all come and go on cue.

Connie Ogle, Miami Herald
These Fitzgeralds are loud, selfish and often maddening, but they're a loving group, and you wouldn't mind spending more time with them.

Andrew O'Hehir, Salon.com
Burns remains an agreeable presence throughout, and the emotions mostly ring true, even if the comic elements feel overly broad and individual episodes are hit-and-miss.

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
A holiday-themed piece shot through with humor and heartbreak. No bull. And low on sappy.

Sara Stewart, New York Post
Too much of the film is taken up by creaky plot devices and one sibling vowing to track down and talk to another one to resolve a problem.

Stephen Holden, New York Times
Manages the considerable feat of interweaving the personal dramas of nine members of a boisterous Irish-American clan into a coherent mosaic with a streamlined narrative drive.
