Though "Berkeley" may be based on Bobby Roth's own experiences, he filters it through a narrative framework that feels distant and impersonal...

The whole thing does have an air of verisimilitude, but it's also just a little too blandly generic.

Roth’s gift for unlocking the best in each of his actors does bring those long-ago times to life.

Only Henry Winkler as Ben's carpet-salesman pa has the joie de vivre the pic desperately needs.
