Reviews


75
Philadelphia Inquirer - Carrie Rickey
A very curious and very entertaining mix, the Labradoodle of inspirational romantic-comedy-melodramas.
67
Entertainment Weekly - Owen Gleiberman
A bad movie so over-the-top that at moments it's almost good - or, at least, more arresting than it has any right to be.
50
Variety - Joe Leydon
An ungainly hodgepodge of vaudeville-style comedy, turgid soap-operatics, and joyful epiphanies of gospel-flavored uplift.
50
Charlotte Observer - Lawrence Toppman
Diary rather sloppily blends melodrama and spiritual uplift with crass comedy, sometimes in the same scene.
40
Village Voice - Laura Sinagra
Rote melodrama.
