Name : Adam Graham / Alias : Detroit News
While it looks good - Ritchie has always been a slick visual stylist - it's ultimately as passive as an old rerun.

Name : J. R. Jones / Alias : Chicago Reader
Whose idea was it to make a cold war thriller for a generation that doesn't know what the cold war was?

Name : Rafer Guzman / Alias : Newsday
Not an update of the old TV show but a revival, with dazzling sets, period outfits and wonderfully implausible action. It's an Atomic Age blast.

Name : Wesley Morris / Alias : Grantland
Exactly no one was asking for this. So it's a surprise to discover that the bar for this movie is low enough to conga under.

Name : Jesse Hassenger / Alias : AV Club
The Man From U.N.C.L.E. feels fun even when it lacks a particular reason for existing.

Name : Michael Granberry / Alias : Dallas Morning News
It's got all the ingredients - improbable romances, partial nudity, ridiculous escapes - that make it little more than big-sound and big-picture fodder for the Imax screens it will appear on throughout the country.

Name : Chris Klimek / Alias : NPR
What substance it has could be dissolved in a shot glass. But so what?

Name : Michael Phillips / Alias : Chicago Tribune
Composer Daniel Pemberton's evocations of early '60s "danger" music respect the period, which is more than can be said for Ritchie's hatchet-style of staging and editing.

Name : Todd McCarthy / Alias : Hollywood Reporter
It's not bad but not quite good enough either.

Name : Joe Neumaier / Alias : New York Daily News
It's slow, lethargic, utterly lacking in charm and undeserving of the Cold War setting that is its best trait.

Name : James Berardinelli / Alias : ReelViews
This is one of those rare instances when a sequel wouldn't just be warranted - it would be welcomed.

Name : Peter Debruge / Alias : Variety
An unusually restrained Guy Ritchie serves up solid entertainment with a classy touch, but bland leads and no-sizzle chemistry make this slick '60s TV adaptation forgettable.

Name : Alonso Duralde / Alias : TheWrap
With brisk pacing, and a cast this attractive parading the kinds of fashions that will remind you how much you miss Mad Men, most of the movie boasts a Mod crispness.

Name : Michael O'Sullivan / Alias : Washington Post
The threat that this mess of a movie might be followed by a sequel is enough to make anyone cry uncle.

Name : Mick LaSalle / Alias : San Francisco Chronicle
Ritchie is a director with no instinct for the audience, and he can't hold things together for an entire film. He seems at a loss, from moment to moment, as to what he should emphasize.

Name : Lindsey Bahr / Alias : Associated Press
Alas, the movie doesn't fulfil the tease of the opening sequence. From there it devolves into a series of revelations with diminishing returns.

Name : Dave Calhoun / Alias : Time Out
U.N.C.L.E. has enough style and smarts to make it an amusingly louche summer movie: a cultivated mix of action and wit, suits and cities.

Name : Peter Travers / Alias : Rolling Stone
a moldy 1960s TV series that comes to the screen with no Mission: Impossible update or makeover. That's right - it's still moldy. But in a way that's escapist, retro fun.

Name : Calvin Wilson / Alias : St. Louis Post-Dispatch
This is a movie whose charm sneaks up on you, like a spy in the night.

Name : Kyle Smith / Alias : New York Post
Cavill's Solo, and the movie, are aggressively quippy, which is what happens when screenwriters set out to be funny but give up when they're halfway there.

Name : Stephanie Zacharek / Alias : Village Voice
Though it's made with lots of modern tricks and technology, it's old-fashioned in the best sense, and not just because it's set in the Sixties.

Name : Brian Truitt / Alias : USA Today
The Cold War returns full force on the big screen, though by the end of The Man from U.N.C.L.E., you might want to put it back in the fridge.

Name : Richard Roeper / Alias : Chicago Sun-Times
The Man from U.N.C.L.E. plays like a lower key, vintage edition of a Mission: Impossible movie. It's a good movie with a great look.

Name : Bill Goodykoontz / Alias : Arizona Republic
It almost works. Actually, it does work, hitting the requisite number of hip notes. It just doesn't dazzle, and that's kind of a surprise.

Name : Nathalie Atkinson / Alias : Globe and Mail
Mesmerizing and clever, but more style than substance.

Name : Chris Nashawaty / Alias : Entertainment Weekly
Long on style but short on substance, Guy Ritchie's ring-a-ding-ding Cold War spy thriller attempts to resurrect a mothballed '60s TV series the way that Mission: Impossible did. It doesn't work this time.

Name : Soren Anderson / Alias : Seattle Times
The picture is quite clever and light on its feet.

Name : Mark Olsen / Alias : Los Angeles Times
It all winds up feeling hollow and even slightly oppressive, an enforced sense of fun jabbed within quotation marks. It aims for a silky lightness of touch but lands like a dropped slab of concrete.

Name : Ty Burr / Alias : Boston Globe
"Man" is a celebration of a time when secret agents dressed impeccably, bantered with style, and had exceptionally cool toys. That the movie is almost instantly forgettable is part of the pleasure.

Name : David Edelstein / Alias : New York Magazine/Vulture
It's breezy and elegant - so breezily elegant it can make you laugh out loud from frame to frame.

Name : Peter Howell / Alias : Toronto Star
This is like an Austin Powers movie directed by Wes Anderson, although Ritchie's personal style is very much in evidence.

Name : Stephen Whitty / Alias : Newark Star-Ledger
Holding out for a fun summer film? Resist no longer. Just say "U.N.C.L.E."

Name : Anthony Lane / Alias : New Yorker
As for Cavill, let us just say that the line between phlegmatic suavity and downright dullness is rather more easily breached than the Berlin Wall.

Name : Manohla Dargis / Alias : New York Times
Guy Ritchie makes the kind of enjoyably disreputable movies that are fun to watch until they're not.

Name : Steven Rea / Alias : Philadelphia Inquirer
A lot of energy and effort has gone into this endeavor, and I can't say some of it's not fun. But more of it, alas, is just tedious.

Name : Stephen Holden / Alias : New York Times
A modest, quietly touching portrait of an older woman radiantly embodied by Blythe Danner.

Name : Patrick Dunn / Alias : Detroit News
A touching, funny and thoughtful film that trades in honesty rather than artifice.

Name : Keith Uhlich / Alias : AV Club
Elliott and Danner fare best together, mainly because of their swoon-worthy chemistry; it's surprising that they've never worked together before this.

Name : Mick LaSalle / Alias : San Francisco Chronicle
By keeping sentimentality out, "I'll See You in My Dreams" leaves space for real emotion.

Name : Michael Phillips / Alias : Chicago Tribune
The actors are terrific. It's too bad, though, that co-writer, editor and director Brett Haley settles for so little.

Name : Justin Chang / Alias : Variety
Blythe Danner gives a deeply felt performance as a widow slowly embracing the challenges of old age in this pleasant romantic dramedy.

Name : Ben Sachs / Alias : Chicago Reader
A nuanced lead performance by Blythe Danner anchors this better-than-average entry in the growing subgenre of light dramas about Baby Boomers learning to enjoy retirement.

Name : Colin Covert / Alias : Minneapolis Star Tribune
The film has a fresh tone and free-floating original storytelling. Nobody is as predictable as they first appear.

Name : Calvin Wilson / Alias : St. Louis Post-Dispatch
"I'll See You in My Dreams" is at once funny and poignant - and not just for moviegoers of a certain age.

Name : Betsy Sharkey / Alias : Los Angeles Times
What "I'll See You" does particularly well is get at how any relationship - whatever your age - comes with a limited, rather than a lifetime, warranty.

Name : Linda Barnard / Alias : Toronto Star
Haley allows Danner to be exquisite as Carol, never rushing while allowing the actress to explore every nuance of her character. We casually fall in step with her, grateful to be there.

Name : Joe Morgenstern / Alias : Wall Street Journal
Carol's life is often good, but Ms. Danner makes her loneliness palpable.

Name : Rex Reed / Alias : New York Observer
The tender magnetism of Blythe Danner turns an intelligent, sensitive story of love among the not so young into a work of art.

Name : Nathalie Atkinson / Alias : Globe and Mail
The film cleverly uses the conventions more typical of romantic comedies several decades its junior .

Name : Joe McGovern / Alias : Entertainment Weekly
The breezy, tender moments between Blythe Danner and Sam Elliott, two great unsung troupers of American acting for 40 years, would make for a blissful short film.

Name : Stephanie Merry / Alias : Washington Post
The drama serves as a pleasant reminder that no matter how old we get, we never really become experts at life. And who would want to? The fumbling is often the most interesting part.

Name : Ty Burr / Alias : Boston Globe
"I'll See You in My Dreams" may be the first movie since 1974's "Lovin' Molly" to put Danner at its center; the results are a minor revelation and a reminder of where the real acting talent in this family lies.

Name : Lou Lumenick / Alias : New York Post
Danner shines in scene after scene.

Name : Kyle Smith / Alias : New York Post
A polished piece of entertainment.

Name : Leslie Felperin / Alias : Hollywood Reporter
Blythe Danner lands her best screen role in years as a retired widow who decides to dip a tentative toe into the dating pool in indie comedy I'll See You in My Dreams.

Name : Inkoo Kang / Alias : TheWrap
A far cry from the Nancy Meyers rom-com promised by its trailer, Brett Haley's directorial debut is a poignant if slight drama elevated by its impressive candor and by Blythe Danner's radiant performance.

Name : Bosley Crowther / Alias : New York Times
If the names of Gus Kahn and Danny Thomas are vague or unfamiliar to you now, just keep your ear close to the sidewalk; you'll be hearing a lot of them soon.

Name : Katharine Pushkar / Alias : New York Daily News
The movie is by turns a romance, a chick flick, a coming-of-age film and even a stoner movie. There's something for everyone, with the possible exception of cretins who don't appreciate great writing, casting, directing and especially acting.

Name : Bilge Ebiri / Alias : New York Magazine/Vulture
There are three reasons to see I'll See You in My Dreams. Blythe Danner is Reason No. 1. She also happens to be Reasons Nos. 2 and 3.

Name : Bill Goodykoontz / Alias : Arizona Republic
"I'll See You in My Dreams" is a remarkably pleasant experience at the movies.

Name : Lindsey Bahr / Alias : Associated Press
Writer-director Brett Haley hasn't done anything revolutionary with this refined, sweet film, but the world he creates feels authentic and comfortably lived in.

Name : John Hartl / Alias : Seattle Times
[Danner is] clearly having a ball with this character.

Name : Stephanie Zacharek / Alias : Village Voice
It's hopeful and realistic in equal measure, and it's anchored by a quietly resplendent performance from Danner, who brings a featherduster touch to everything she does.

Name : Steven Rea / Alias : Philadelphia Inquirer
I'll See You in My Dreams is delicate and nuanced, with writing that rejects, or at least reshapes, the cliches of movies about people facing the glare of their sunset years.
