Quirky and utterly endearing.
Geoff Andrew, Time Out

Maybe only grown-ups should see this movie. You know, people who have gotten over the pains of unrequited love (hollow laugh).
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

It floats effortlessly over its landscape, seeing all from a marvelously cockeyed perspective all its own.
Vincent Canby, New York Times

It's hard to warm to a film as intentionally slight and safe as this.
