Philadelphia Inquirer - Steven Rea
This is a sweet, gentle film - slow and sunny like a summer day, with a message that growing up can be hard, but can also serve as the wellspring of memories that will sustain you for a lifetime.

Seattle Post-Intelligencer - Paula Nechak
It works because it never tries to be more than the very personal memory piece it is.

Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
A movie like this falls outside ordinary critical language. Is it good or bad? Is there too much melodrama? I don't have any idea. It triggered too many thoughts of my own for me to have much attention left over for footnotes.

Chicago Tribune - Unnamed
A film that proves even the tiredest genre can be reinvigorated in the right hands.

USA Today - Susan Wloszczyna
A family movie with a heart and a brain. And if you aren't moved to tears, you might need an organ transplant.
