Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: Writer and director Mitchell Lichtenstein struggles to find the humor in a host of horrors.
Rotten: Happy Tears, is simply weird. The funny has gone missing.
Rotten: Other than the guest-starring appearance of Cy Twombly canvases, nothing distinguishes this poor relation of The Savages from all the other emotionally fraudulent Amerindies about familial dysfunction and reconciliation.
Rotten: Happy Tears settles for the usual moments, even at its quirkiest.
