| sbs.com.auDon GrovesMawkish romantic melodrama creates no sparks. |
| AV ClubScott TobiasHallström's approach to the material is tasteful and restrained to a fault. |
| BeliefnetNell MinowNicholas Sparks writes the equivalent of comfort food, high-carb, low-nutrition, but sometimes it hits the spot. |
| TheMovieReport.comMichael DequinaAchieves its modest, unpretentious goals in an agreeable, likable fashion. |
