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

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

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.

Interminable, typical Albert Brooks

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

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

This is a comedy that has something on its mind.

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

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

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