An extraordinarily charming movie.

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

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.

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.
