Baltimore Sun
Barrymore gives a performance that's nuanced, assured and captivating.

As the movie jumps back and forth in time, it displays an impressive cut-and-paste agility, skillfully interweaving humor and drama without tipping over into farce or soap opera.

Entertainment Weekly
When Barrymore finally gets mean, the movie finally gets good. Then comes another sing-along, dammit.

Film Threat
Whatever distinguished "Riding in Cars with Boys" the book certainly doesn't show up in the movie.

New York Post
A messy, woefully uneven chick flick.
