  1. Negative review
    Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune Resentments, pregnancies, cancer, spousal abuse and the struggle of a recovering alcoholic all come and go on cue. Full review External link
  2. Positive review
    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. Full review External link
  3. Positive review
    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. Full review External link
  4. Positive review
    Peter Travers, Rolling Stone A holiday-themed piece shot through with humor and heartbreak. No bull. And low on sappy. Full review External link
  5. Negative review
    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. Full review External link
  6. Positive review
    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. Full review External link
