Austin Chronicle -
Only masterful performances keep this frankly sentimental film from foundering in a sea of syrup.

Christian Science Monitor -
The movie is lively, funny, and endearing until melodramatics and sentimentality take over in the last few scenes.

Chicago Reader -
This friendly, briefly exciting story (1998), inspired by John Irving's A Prayer for Owen Meany, achieves a nice balance between caricature and nuanced characterization and even manages not to be cloying.

Dallas Observer -
The film is a feeble shadow of a book that won over even those of us who are no special fans of Irving -- it's probably his funniest, least self-conscious work.

TV Guide Magazine -
Irving's dead-serious sense of spiritual purpose is here replaced with weepy sentiment and saccharine comedy. But knee-deep in syrup, the film manages to stand on its own -- mainly due to a terrific performance from young Smith and a host of winning supporting players.
