People Like Us Ratings & Reviews
Film.com
Laremy Legel
A good payoff, but the middle drags.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
People Like Us seems to have been devised for audiences who want to experience an entire year's worth of soap opera complications in a single sitting.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
It's encouraging to see a wielder of studio heft test his mettle with the all-too-human. In a season of superheroes and their nemeses, Kurtzman takes on characters hurting, hoping, trying to rise to the occasion of family.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Joe Williams
Pine and the always-watchable Banks make the best of a bad screenplay, but "People Like Us" gives us nothing that we can relate to.
Detroit News
Tom Long
"People Like Us" may not be perfect, but Banks is perfectly imperfect.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
Ultimately, the movie's fundamental truth shines through the Hollywood gloss.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
The movie's soap opera quality undermines its efforts to tell a family saga with much believability.
Newsday
Rafer Guzman
If it weren't for the whole shared-DNA problem, "People Like Us" might have made a nice pot of romantic mush.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
The performances, especially Ms. Banks's Frankie and Ms. Pfeiffer's Lillian, partly compensate for the holes in a story whose timing is hard to swallow.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
One of those "heartfelt" dramas that was obviously dreamed up to win awards but fell short and is instead being dumped before awards season.
ScreenCrush
Jordan Hoffman
a perfectly acceptable 'Jerry Maguire'-lite for people who like to put their noses in other people's problems.
HollywoodChicago.com
Brian Tallerico
It's undeniably manipulative and sentimental but it's also somewhat refreshing to see a drama that isn't laced with irony, cynicism, or some form of postmodern commentary on the genre.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
It seems ridiculous to dance around plot details when the movie allows the audience to get ahead of the story and to stay there as events laboriously unfold.
Dig Boston
Monica Castillo
Everybody gets angry at each other because no one talks or uses reason.
leonardmaltin.com
Leonard Maltin
I can't imagine that this film wouldn't have been considerably better if it moved at a brisker pace.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
A honorable misfire, with maybe one-quarter of the impulse engines spinning in the here and now.
NPR
Ella Taylor
A sensitive, decent, well-crafted little drama about frailty and forgiveness.
San Francisco Chronicle
Amy Biancolli
If not for the icky air of incest, Pine and Banks would make one fine-looking couple.
Dallas Morning News
Joy Tipping
It's a movie that's in a league with films from the golden age of family drama, stories like Ordinary People and Kramer vs. Kramer, although People's dashes of comedy render it far less grim than those examples.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
Its hard sell wears you down and draws you in, even as you know you're being manipulated.
