Finding Mary March Audience Reviews

pointyfilippa The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.
mraculeated The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
