Top critics, in their words
Fresh
... an old-fashioned romance.
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
Rotten
An unconvincing melodrama that seems more interested in pushing an agenda and preaching than in developing legitimate, compelling characters.
James Berardinelli, ReelViews
Rotten
A melodrama with pretensions to humanitarian generosity.
Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com
Rotten
Well-intentioned but astonishingly flat.
Jen Chaney, Washington Post
