[edit] Reception
Duck received generally mixed or negative reviews from critics. Gary Goldstein at reel.com rated it 1.5 stars, saying "Duck is a turkey" and "Bettauer's made a tedious, groan-worthy picture notable only for the bigger issues it attempts—and fails—to successfully explore than for any real entertainment value."[1] The New York Times said "it tries too hard" and "ducks aren't all that endearing".[2] Mark Feeney in the Boston Globe said that Bettauer "strikes a very uneasy balance" between playing for tears or laughs.[3]
