“Then there's Amy Adams. As Johnny's heftily pregnant wife, Ashley, she creates such a startlingly adorable portrait of guileless chatterbox naivety that you almost worry that she won't be able to sustain it - that it's going to tip over into scrunchy-faced ingratiation, or holy-innocent caricature. But if there's a note of either in this surely career-making performance, I missed it, twice. The movie loves Ashley dearly: it keeps her looked after, in an unironic shell of total, intelligent kindness, and it invites every viewer to join its protective circle.”
