Austin Chronicle - Marc Savlov
Girl in Progress is an old story about a young girl told in a smart way, and that's something you don't see every day, no matter how many times you think you've seen it before.
60
New York Magazine (Vulture) - David Edelstein
The movie goes soft. But it has the unpretentious energy and charm of a good YA girls' novel.
60
Movieline - Michelle Orange
Girl in Progress feels a little trapped by its own conceits: It plays with the idea that all rebellion is in some sense performed and makes a caricature out of the immature, attention-hungry mother, but it never liberates its characters from their molds.
50
Time - Mary Pols
Unfortunately, Girl in Progress doesn't upend anything; it just makes us weary of its wisecracking, oblivious teen and her ditzy mom.
50
Variety - Unnamed
Never finds its own groove, alternating between high-school dramedy and overworked-single-mom narratives without ever really becoming a mother-and-daughter story until the closing scenes.
