"
Folks
means well with its combination of slapstick comedy and tearjerking material, yet it’s a random picture, never quite gelling the way Reiser imagines it."

A-
"Takes Reiser's good screenplay, adds a veteran actor who nails his performance, and comes up with a perfectly charming comedy."

"The fact that it provides one with an opportunity to bask in Falk's almost uninterrupted glow for ninety minutes doesn't make it a good movie."

Frank Swietek
B
"should resonate with any baby boomer dealing with living parents of the WWII era...It's Reiser's "Mad About Falk." "

"As it is, it's shamelessly manipulative shtick brightened by sharply drawn supporting performances."

5/10
"The film is a little saccharine and never as moving as Reiser expected. I know Reiser loves his father, but I didn't need to pay to be told it."
