| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonOffers a delightful fairy-tale solution for those feeling trapped in a pre-assigned role, a momentary escape into the imagination. |
| San Jose Mercury NewsGlenn LovellSoldini ... exploits the premise for schmaltz and easy laughs. |
| culturevulture.netArthur LazereEvery one of the characters is caught up in the real world of missed opportunities and broken souvenirs. |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerWilliam ArnoldA sweet-spirited, extremely well-cast little comedy. |
| Boxoffice MagazineChris WiegandA delightful feature that is as charming as its title and as beautiful as its Venetian setting. |

| Miami HeraldMarta BarberIt's all very sweet, but the film goes in too many directions. |
