    Variety

    The New York Times Stephen Holden

    As more characters, including the couple's three children - enter the picture, Late Bloomers loses its narrative thread and becomes so choppy that you have the sense that it was butchered during the editing process. What remains is the skeleton of a story that leads to an abrupt, icky-cute ending.

    Village Voice Michael Atkinson

    She (Rossellini) is radiant in a profoundly ordinary and believable way, as always, and stirs up generational pathos all by herself.

    Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert

    An uneven but touching comedy with a cheery score that sounds too much like whistling on the way past the graveyard.
