The rough edges of Donofrio's life are either ignored or smoothed away, replaced by broad laughs and easy sentiment.
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Fresh
A film with honesty, sincerity and a great big heart.
Rex Reed, New York Observer
Rotten
There's a sort of Hallmark tyranny at work.
Desson Thomson, Washington Post
Rotten
The movie may be based on Beverly Donofrio's memoir of the '60s, but it misses the honesty and grit of the source.
