Lorene Scafaria

[Sarandon:] I think everybody can act, really. Surviving in this profession is something you can brag about.

For the apocalyptic circumstances to be more than cheap window dressing, Scafaria owes us more thought and insight and satiric zest than her film offers up.

A delightfully humane comedy...doesn’t insist upon the meddling as a 'premise' but as an important part of the film’s psychological reality.
