Film Threat -
An extraordinarily charming movie.

The Hollywood Reporter -
The result is an entertaining comedy for young girls and older girls who still like a good romantic fable.

|
ReelViews -
It's not the best of modern fairy tales but it's sincere and Christina Ricci's earnest and vulnerable performance touches the heart. Penelope is flawed but not irredeemably so.

Chicago Tribune -
I wish it were truly special instead of an interesting near-miss.

|
Village Voice -
Ricci is appealingly human, and some acknowledgement of the importance of female friendship, in addition to romance, is faintly touching.
