Tim Grierson L.A. Weekly 10/03/2008
Smother feels like the sort of misbegotten curiosity Comedy Central uses to fill its Sunday afternoon programming. Go to Full Review Jake Wilson The Age (Australia) 06/07/2008
3/5

thiago s @Thiagostone Aug 28 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more 02/19/2020 I think Smother is hilarious, and fun, all the characters are really good. Diane Keaton & Dax Shepard are excellent, If you like good comedy, see this movie! See more 01/14/2016 Terribly Irritating movie! Good interpretation of Diane Keaton. See more 05/10/2015 Certainly not a good movie, but Diane Keaton and Mike White have some good moments. See more 08/23/2014 cute but could have been much more See more 06/02/2013 Bad, bad, bad. Shame, it has a good title and lead. See more Read all reviews
