Reviews
|
Philadelphia Inquirer -
A very curious and very entertaining mix, the Labradoodle of inspirational romantic-comedy-melodramas.
|
|
Entertainment Weekly -
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.
|
|
Variety -
An ungainly hodgepodge of vaudeville-style comedy, turgid soap-operatics, and joyful epiphanies of gospel-flavored uplift.
|
|
Charlotte Observer -
Diary rather sloppily blends melodrama and spiritual uplift with crass comedy, sometimes in the same scene.
|
|
Village Voice -
Rote melodrama.
