- 70Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasLos Angeles TimesKevin ThomasScarcely original and in no way earthshaking, but its notable cast is a pleasure to behold.
- 50The Hollywood ReporterThe Hollywood ReporterPut three old friends in a convertible for a cross-country road trip to a loved one's funeral, and what do you get? Very few surprises, in this feel-good fluff that, despite offering nothing novel, could do well with older audiences who rightly feel that too few films are being made with them in mind.
- 50VarietyDavid RooneyVarietyDavid RooneyA bland road movie running on empty. It's depressing to see a deluxe cast wasted on such by-the-numbers material -- from predictable plot to fabricated Hallmark sentiment to strenuous milking of warm-and-fuzzy laughs from the irrepressible spirit of three women whose youth is behind them.
- 50Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumEntertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumLadies! Thelma and Louise drove a '66T-bird, remember?! They picked up a young male hitchhiker 17 years before you did, and they too, um, interacted with a trucker and admired magnificent American sunsets -- is it coming back to you? Nope, it's not, which is exactly why the tires are so low on this creaky vehicle.
- 50TV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonaghTV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonaghThe prodigiously talented Allen, Bates and Lange give it their all, but there's a limit to what even they can do with platitudes and prefabricated homilies.
- Except for Ms. Lange’s silent, expressive close-ups, which render flashbacks unnecessary, the women’s journey is aesthetically and dramatically unremarkable.
- 50New York PostLou LumenickNew York PostLou LumenickNo surprises here, though the stars make it surprisingly watchable.
- 50New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanNew York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanBonneville does provide at least one important service: The next time an older actress complains that there are no good projects for women of a certain age, she'll be able to hold this clunker up as Exhibit A.
- 50San Francisco ChronicleSan Francisco ChronicleWhen you've got three of the nation's best actresses in leading roles, it doesn't matter if your script is only adequate and the audience really has to squint here and there to believe what's happening on the screen.
- 40Village VoiceVillage VoiceThis rarity in cinema--a graying cast in a female-bonding adventure--couldn't be more dull-humored or predictably maudlin without just calling itself "The Bucket List 2."
