There are many reasons to fault "Me and Earl and the Dying Girl," but it's sweet enough, and smart enough, to overcome every one of those reasons.

Tom Long, Detroit News

"Me and Earl and the Dying Girl" is a must-see - and one of the best films of the year.

Calvin Wilson, St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Mann is simply perfect for the role, and Cooke and Cyler bring a weight to their characters that lends a necessary balance to the movie's tone.

John Hartl, Seattle Times

Affecting without being overly sentimental, humorous without being inappropriately comedic, and quirky without being self-indulgent.

James Berardinelli, ReelViews
Rotten

A weepy romance that tries hard to be quirky and cool. More sincerity might have helped.

Rafer Guzman, Newsday
