The film was reviewed by Dr. Barry Hummel from QDREF on 8/28/2009.

Additional comments: This film contains 46 separate incidents of tobacco use! Five of the films main stars, including Diane Lane, are shown smoking. When Diane Lane shares a cigarette with Mark Wahlberg, she says, "Guess we'll get cancer togather," giving the film it's only negative tobacco message. But given the prevalence of smoking in this community, how will John C. Reilly's young son, around whom several characters smoke, ever hear that message?
