Entertainment Reviews:
...It's gratifying to watch the splendid Jessica Lange inhabit a role...Cusack, who gets better with each film, is bewitching...
Rolling Stone
...It's a tender, beautifully acted, diabolically droll film on the subject of love, loss and the sheer blissful unpredictability of life...
Los Angeles Times
...[MEN DON'T LEAVE] gets by...on [Lange's] exceptional ability to hold an audience's attention, and on the warmly comic family scenes [Brickman] stages well...
New York Times
Rating: 5/5 --
A minor note classic
Hot Button
Rating: 2.5/5 --
O'Donnell impresses but, surprisingly enough, Lange drags things down to a place where only a formula finish can end things without the audience throwing fruit.

One of the most unjustly underappreciated films of the 1990s; wonderfully acted

Description by OLDIES.com:
Life has just handed Beth Macauley the short straw. Her husband and suburban home are gone. She still has her two boys - and a new destination. She's moving to the big city of Baltimore - and into the biggest adventure of her life.
Two-time Academy Award winner* Jessica Lange plays Beth in this warm-hearted, funny fable from Risky Business director Paul Brickman about staying together when all else is falling apart. Screen-debuting Chris O'Donnell (two years before his star making Scent of a Woman role) and Charlie Korsmo are the sons who unwittingly push Beth into one pitfall of single parenthood after another. Newcomers to Beth's world include an avant-garde composer (Arliss Howard), a flakier-than-cereal neighbor (Joan Cusack) and a boss (Kathy Bates) skilled in management by terror.
