You'll need the patience of a saint to completely forgive the sins of Heaven Help Us.

The picture is timid, and all but worthless, but moviegoers who have always longed to see Donald Sutherland as a monk -- and I know that you guys are out there -- will be in ecstasy.

RTChicago Sun-TimesOct 23, 2004

The strange thing about the movie is the way the moments of inspiration raise our hopes, and then disappoint them.

It isn't taxing or trite. It's well-balanced and amusing.
