The filmmakers can't seem to unearth the novel's inherent lightheartedness and instead treat too many events with earnest seriousness, trampling the original story's lively spirit in heavy-handed drama.
Connie Ogle, Miami Herald
Fresh
With eloquent dialogue but scant smoldering passions, the mushy machinations nicely nudge director Tim Fywell's gentle little film.
Bruce Westbrook, Houston Chronicle
Rotten
Dollops on the usual romantic, family and class conflicts with a very heavy ladle, which pretty much smothers the whimsical mood Fywell strains so hard to attain.
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press
Fresh
A refreshingly mature look at first love and life's often-rough transitions.
Gary Dowell, Dallas Morning News
