- 70Village VoiceSam WeisbergVillage VoiceSam WeisbergEqually seductive as it is inert, Terry Miles' Cinemanovels manages to cast an alluring spell, despite not amounting to much. It sticks in the memory, mostly due to the playful lead performance by Lauren Lee Smith.
- 63Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsChicago TribuneMichael PhillipsThe actors make up for the relative thinness of the material. Smith navigates the emotional terrain with great skill. The script is often funny but just as often cutesy.
- The ensemble cast clicks, and the ribbon-tied ending is always in doubt.
- 50Los Angeles TimesInkoo KangLos Angeles TimesInkoo KangWriter-director Terry Miles' revisionist homage is a thoughtful thesis on the melodrama but a letdown in its attempt to serve as an affecting example of that genre.
