A powerful drama about finding hope in the most unusual of places. Once a happily married and loving couple, Doug and Lois Riley (Gandolfini and Leo) have grown apart since losing their teenage daughter eight years prior. Leaving his agoraphobic wife behind to go on a business trip to New Orleans, Doug meets a 16-year-old runaway (Stewart) and the two form a platonic, familial bond. For Lois and Doug, what initially appears to be the final straw that will derail their relationship, turns out to be the inspiration they need to renew their marriage.

Critics Consensus: Despite earnest performances, Welcome to the Rileys cannot escape its belabored over-sentimentality and sluggish delivery.

Reviews

El Nuevo Herald (Miami)

Rene Jordan

The effort from the cast is most dignified, because without them the film would drown in embarrassing tedium. [Full review in Spanish]

With a subtle emotional build, intricately nuanced and believable performances that are deeply affective, touching the heart, Welcome to The Rileys rolls out the welcome mat to each of us.

Takes clichéd storytelling and predictability and runs with it, padding out a 110-minute runtime with a story that has the ability to be compelling if it wasn't for the fact that we have seen it all before.

Ken Hixon's (City by the Sea, Inventing the Abbotts) script is formulaic and doesn't take any chances... but [director Jake] Scott and his trio of actors elevate the material with light yet heartfelt touches.

Plenty of authentic laughs and great supporting performances make Welcome to the Rileys a decent film.
