Boston Globe
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.

Dallas Observer
Heavy-handed, saccharine message somehow goes down good.

Philadelphia Inquirer
It's a pretty nice movie until, like a Ponzi plan, it collapses.

Chicago Sun-Times
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.

It's too bad about the ending because, until then, Pay It Forward... is Hollywood feel-goodism at its best.
