One More Time

One More Time is a low-key pleasure with big rewards, the kind worth crooning about.

One More Time coasts by on Walken's idiosyncratic charm. He has a warm rapport with Heard, and there's solid support from Ann Magnuson as Paul's prickly sixth wife and Oliver Platt as Paul's long-suffering manager.

The whole cast ... sinks its teeth into the material, which is reasonably meaty.

Many fine small moments pepper the family dramedy "One More Time," but they don't add up to a satisfying enough whole.

The actors strike few sparks, even as combatants, but it's not entirely their fault.

Robert Edwards, the writer and director, explores the layers of melancholy contained within these familiar but authentically drawn characters, and he cleverly doles out virtue and vice to each while weaving in acid humor borne from regret.

In a perfect role that blends Walken-ese eccentricities with the heart of family, [Christopher] Walken shines as Paul Lombard. This is deadpan comedic Walken-ese at its best.

A family drama with a clever setup, One More Time, although not a ground-breaking film, is charming throughout. A top-notch cast, strong writing and competent filmmaking make for a pleasurable 98 minutes of indie storytelling.

Just another pointless movie about a rich, dysfunctional family with problems that seem far too superficial to the rest of us

"When I Live My Life Over" doesn't get out of the house much, but Edwards crafts compelling enough dynamics between all the characters that you hardly notice.
