The Other End of the Line ends up being a five-minute ad for buyer's insurance instead of an interminable interracial, international, intercultural romantic comedy.
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe
Rotten
The movie is like a glass of Sprite that has been left on the counter too long: transparent, sweet and flat.
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
Rotten
By the time the filmmakers have set up all the story lines that will blend for a very long third act, the predictability factor has become all but unbearable.
John Hartl, Seattle Times
Rotten
A feather-light romantic comedy that's laborious when it ought to be effervescent; The Other End of the Line is the latest exchange in an awkward conversation between two film industries.
Jason Anderson, Toronto Star
