Movie Reviews

  • the sendup never came, and once you accepted that Mr. Ferrell and Ms. Wiig were playing it straight, you also realized that the movie wasn't very good even by Lifetime standards, which are not exactly lofty
    by Neil Genzlinger [NY Times ]
  • the only deadly thing about this "Adoption" is just how dull it was
    by Brian Lowry [Variety ]
  • everyone involved plays it magnificently straight, allowing subtle satire to eat gently away at the edges of the story and its telling
    4 of 5 by John Patterson [The Guardian ]
  • beyond Ferrell, Wiig and company's superficial assurance at keeping the one-joke premise going (right up to a climactic musical number that elicits a chuckle or two), the film feels disconnected and utterly disposable
    by Keith Uhlich [Hollywood Reporter ]
  • Adoption is a meticulous recreation of a Lifetime potboiler, played completely straight by its entire cast, save for a few minutes at the end
    Review rate : B- by Joshua Alston [A.V. Club ]
