Entertainment Reviews:
3.5 stars out of 5 -- [A] wonderfully laid back family story set around a gorgeous lake, about the everyday problems of real people from 7 to 70...One of Reiner's best.

Rating: 1/4 --
Corny, obvious, and shallow as a puddle, it traffics in outdated stereotypes, overused cliches, and ham-handed emotions. Trust me: your 80 year-old grandmother will love this movie.

Shamelessly schmaltzy and predictable from first moment to last, Rob Reiner's The Magic of Belle Isle nonetheless manages to conjure a certain spell.

All we're left with is an uneven story that could have landed on "Best of Straight-to-DVD" shelves or the $1 bin at your local Walmart for Grandma to find.

Rating: B --
The problems with the dialog and story are overcome by the fact that this is a very nice, warm, romantic story with some magic in it.

Rating: 3/4 --
You can quarrel with the smiley-face outcome of every ordeal, but the tenderness and optimism are so powerful and ingratiating that only a viewer with the darkest sensibility will go away untouched.

Rating: C --
Madsen, a strong actress who might have matched Freeman, is portrayed in varying shades of blandness. Even Freeman, good as his is, is held back here.
