Reviews


75
Boston Globe - Jay Carr
The kind of film you've got to admire simply for the way it squares its shoulders and plunges into a message of unfashionable idealism.
70
Dallas Observer - Gregory Weinkauf
Heavy-handed, saccharine message somehow goes down good.
63
Philadelphia Inquirer - Carrie Rickey
It's a pretty nice movie until, like a Ponzi plan, it collapses.
63
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
With a cleaner story line, the basic idea could have been free to deliver. As it is, we get a better movie than we might have, because the performances are so good.
50
Washington Post - Desson Thomson
It's too bad about the ending because, until then, Pay It Forward... is Hollywood feel-goodism at its best.
