| New York PostDebra BirnbaumIt's like "Waiting for Guffman" without the wit or irony. |
| Hollywood ReporterSheri LindenThis tale of the theater could have used more time on the road. |
| OregonianMarc MohanThe story is as predictable as it is saccharine. Apart from the presence of local landmarks, there's no reason the Rose City should be proud of this effort. |
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris HewittIt feels like a work in progress, but there is promise. |

| IGN MoviesJeff OttoA sweet story can't overcome a seriously flawed film. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasThis heartfelt valentine to the stage leaves no cliché unturned. If it has anything to recommend, it is the loving portrayal of the camaraderie of those who participate in art for art's sake who, to quote Cyrano, "work without one thought of gain or fame." |

| The New York TimesAnita GatesFinally it becomes clear that Mr. Corley's film is meant to be a tribute to the love of theater. It has just been posing as the story of one man's finding himself. |
| Austin ChronicleMarc SavlovAwash in the obvious and sports a patently predictable outcome. Somewhere, Stanislavsky is shrieking as well. |
