Film Threat - Unnamed
An extraordinarily charming movie.

The Hollywood Reporter - Kirk Honeycutt
The result is an entertaining comedy for young girls and older girls who still like a good romantic fable.

ReelViews - James Berardinelli
It's not the best of modern fairy tales but it's sincere and Christina Ricci's earnest and vulnerable performance touches the heart. Penelope is flawed but not irredeemably so.

Chicago Tribune - Michael Phillips
I wish it were truly special instead of an interesting near-miss.

Village Voice - Unnamed
Ricci is appealingly human, and some acknowledgement of the importance of female friendship, in addition to romance, is faintly touching.
