- 60Boxoffice MagazineSara SchieronBoxoffice MagazineSara SchieronIts tone is pleasant and its humor, charming.
- 50L.A. WeeklyChuck WilsonL.A. WeeklyChuck WilsonAt its best, this uneven film by writer-director Dave Boyle suggests that going a bit nuts is a good thing for the rigid paterfamilias.
- 50VarietyDennis HarveyVarietyDennis HarveyIts amusingly off-kilter humor underserved by pedestrian packaging, Dave Boyle's sophomore feature, White on Rice, is the kind of comedy that hinges on a protagonist near-imbecilic in all matters social, physical and especially romantic.
- 40Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasLos Angeles TimesKevin ThomasIt's revealing that writer-director Dave Boyle has said that in a way he fulfilled his lifelong ambition to be a cartoonist with the live-action White on Rice because his people in this wan, trite and increasingly silly comedy are little more than stick figures.
- Bland and only occasionally funny.
