TheIndependentCritic.com
Richard Propes
To her credit, Laura San Giacomo is actually one of the best things about a film that features Peter Falk doing his best imitation of Peter Falk.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
This Borscht Belt version of King Lear, recently given a limited theatrical release, will find its true home on video and cable.
Film Threat
Andrew Mullen
A thoroughly entertaining, intelligent film with an ultimately positive outlook.
Variety
Joe Leydon
Funny is funny, and there's no denying that much of Checking Out is agreeably entertaining in a Neil Simon Lite fashion.
TV Guide
Ken Fox
Actor-turned-writer Allen Swift's play comes to the screen with staginess intact, and despite attractive cinematography and some nice New York City location footage, the material's provenance is never far from the surface.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
Only Laura San Giacomo, as Morris's lonely daughter, Flo, transcends the staginess of the premise and the creakiness of Richard Marcus's screenplay to deliver a performance that feels remotely natural.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
A lame comedy full of wooden acting, schmaltz, clichs and racial stereotypes.
