Stuart Saves His Family Reviews
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
I not only enjoyed Stuart Smalley, doggone it, I liked him, and that attitude of gratitude ain't just a platitude.
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
Stretched out to an agonizing ninety-seven minutes, Stuart goes from being passably amusing to tedious to virtually unwatchable.
New York Times
Janet Maslin
The plotting is surprisingly banal, involving even talk of a property easement and turning Stuart into the executor of a relative's estate. And the relatives' problems are taken semi-seriously, which is more than this lightweight film can handle.
Los Angeles Times
Peter Rainer
It was much funnier when we didn't see Stuart's family. And, if we have to see them, it would have been much funnier if they were strait-laced '50s sitcom types.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
All in all, it's a misfire -- but a misfire that's more interesting than a lot of successes.
JoBlo's Movie Network
JoBlo
I prepared myself for yet another "one joke" Saturday Night Live movie here, but what I got was an enjoyable little film that actually touched upon some interesting issues...
New Times
Luke Y. Thompson
Not as bad as you'd expect
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
There can be no excuse.
Northwest Herald (Crystal Lake, IL)
Jeffrey Westhoff
Though it misfires, this spoof of recovery programs should be noted for its sincerity.
Variety
Joe Leydon
It isn't good enough, it isn't smart enough, and, doggone it, most people won't like Stuart Saves His Family.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
Even if you find Franken hard to bear, as I do, the movie's take on how he functions in the world is both authoritative and compelling, and the movie steadily grows in stature.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
Subtly riotous.
Washington Post
Hal Hinson
Stuart is a disarming figure -- likable in small doses, but fragile and not particularly adaptable.
TV Guide
Often funny, darker than you'd expect, and firmly grounded in Franken's extensive experience of the 12-Step worldview.
