Like bread without yeast, 'Angela's Ashes' minus the author's wit can't rise to meet expectations.

Sometimes humorous and wholly inspiring tale.

Lacks the magnificence of his book, but it is worth seeing.

A dreary, ultimately punishing adaptation of Frank McCourt's memoir, where every other scene has somebody either getting sick, puking or dying.

Probably (Alan Parker's) best movie after The Commitments.

A tedious, vastly disappointing film that does not do justice to the wonderful and touching book upon which it is based.

There is in the film a beauty and ambition rare in most current movies.

A quietly triumphant experience.

Misses the mark as an exceptional drama yet manages to vividly convey the soul-shattering effects of poverty.

Of course, the movie is a thinner version of the novel, but you still get a drama that has you laughing and brokenhearted, often at the same time.
