(1 - 13) of 13 OFCS Rating: 62% Fresh Page   1   B- "Introducing the Dwights is a marvelous Australian family dramedy that occasionally creates the claustrophobic sensation of being trapped in quarreling hell."   eFilmCritic.com   Brian Orndorf C+ "A surface-level examination of family dynamics that can't escape its trite origins."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider C- "The movie proves even more dysfunctional than the Dwights themselves...despite the title, you'd be well advised not to make this family's acquaintance."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 3/5 "An Australian family drama that depicts how difficult people can help us refine and polish our finer qualities."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 3/4 "It gives us a few interesting characters and allows us to follow them through a critical phase of change and growth. It does what all good coming of age movies do, and that makes it a worthy and welcome entry into the genre."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 3/4 "A smart alternative to summer's bloated blockbusters."   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth 4/10 "...does little more than disappoint its audience with annoying characters and stereotypical situations."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio "This is the best kind of family dramedy, skewering the contentious relationship between parent and adult child but never failing to celebrate life’s major passages as anything less than trials to be gotten through, and then cherished."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 2.5/4 "A movie that works beautifully when it's on point and feels sort of hollow when it's not."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan 3.5/5 "As lively as a slap in the face, this film struggles to connect with us due to an extremely unsympathetic central figure, but still wins us over with strong acting and a sweet romance."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline C+ "This Aussie import has a certain amount of charm, especially from the younger actors, but it is predictable and a little shrill."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford B "Director Cherie Nowlan creates vivid personalities for the entire family and exposes the raw nerves of the biting humor."   Seattle Post-Intelligencer   Sean Axmaker "Click here to see review"   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf  (1 - 13) of 13 OFCS Rating: 62% Fresh Page   1
