Portland Oregonian - Shawn Levy
With its sweet soul and sharp mind, it's one of the most heartening films of the year.
80
Newsweek - David Ansen
Gus Van Sant, working from the tangy, well-written script, gets so much humor, grit and emotional truth out of this tale that the familiar formulas behind it simply fall away.

Variety - Emanuel Levy
This beautifully realized tale is always engaging and often quite touching.
75
Baltimore Sun - Ann Hornaday
Fairly bursts with the exuberance and youthful energy that must have attended its creation.
75
ReelViews - James Berardinelli
An ordinary story told well. Taken as a whole, there's little that's special about this tale -- it follows a traditional narrative path, leaves the audience with a warm, fuzzy feeling, and never really challenges or surprises us.
