criticism

“Director Shawn Levy ('Night at the Museum') has staged an amusing ensemble film based on Jonathan Tropper's bestseller, which scores with high-profile actors. There are also polished verbal battles full of irony and wit. "

- Focus

“It is mainly thanks to Jane Fonda that this family reunion did not slide too much into the Hollywood monzette. Shawn Levy keeps the balance between gently sarcastic irony and sentimental family drama. Some viewers may recognize themselves without it hurting. An over-excited mother, four siblings and a death seem to be the ideal ingredients for a soulful comedy. "

- NDR

“Shawn Levy, who specializes in shallow comedies as the director of works such as 'The Pink Panther', 'Date Night', 'Cheaper by the Dozen' and the 'Night at the Museum' trilogy, has a tragic comedy worth watching with 'Seven Damn Long Days' created. The film does have some brute moments; Apart from that, he finds an attractive position between melancholy, amusing, thoughtful and touching scenes. "

- The press

“Shawn Levy lets different lifestyles clash from charming to gaudy, once disdained admirers appear and alleged mistakes of the past. Jason Bateman, Jane Fonda and Tina Fey play it adorable: This trio of born comedians wears a film that is always good for a quiet smile, but which lacks a clear line. "
