| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanKollek is a fringe auteur who makes independent films the old fashioned way: no budget, static camera, a script that telegraphs its tiny, paste gem ironies. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleHas a vacant, inept, why-oh-why feeling from its opening minutes and only gets worse. |
| Matinee MagazineChuck RudolphKollek's screenplay and a concise, adventurous cast amply demonstrate the film's reason for being by playing up the quirky oddness of the film's many frivolous details. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatA comedy that satisfies with its magic moments of love, grace, and synchronicity. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonThis movie's goofy charm won me over by the time it ended. |
| Philadelphia InquirerSteven ReaNothing runs very deep, or very diverting ... in this overplayed, underwritten slice of (love-)life. |
