Reviews


75
Baltimore Sun - Chris Kaltenbach
Barrymore gives a performance that's nuanced, assured and captivating.
60
The New York Times - Stephen Holden
As the movie jumps back and forth in time, it displays an impressive cut-and-paste agility, skillfully interweaving humor and drama without tipping over into farce or soap opera.
58
Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Schwarzbaum
When Barrymore finally gets mean, the movie finally gets good. Then comes another sing-along, dammit.
50
Film Threat - Michael Dequina
Whatever distinguished "Riding in Cars with Boys" the book certainly doesn't show up in the movie.
50
New York Post - Jonathan Foreman
A messy, woefully uneven chick flick.
