Leave your thoughts about It Could Happen to You.
| Montreal Film JournalKevin N. LaforestIf there's one thing that makes this film really really work, it's the flawless cast. |
| Time OutGeoff AndrewPerez has a field day as Muriel, injecting a welcome note of good old-fashioned greed into what is otherwise a relentlessly edifying story. |
| Movie MetropolisJames PlathPleasant rags-to-bitches tale, with Fonda shining. |
| Philadelphia InquirerCarrie RickeyIt Could Happen to You is the movie that "Sleepless in Seattle" wanted to be, an old-fashioned Hollywood romantic comedy for the '90s, brought candidly up to date for the post-sexual revolution era, yet shimmering with all the cockeyed satin-and-popcorn glamor of the past. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThe movie is not so much about romance as about goodheartedness, which is a rarer quality, and not so selfish. And Cage has a certain gentleness that brings out nice soft smiles on Fonda's face. |
| Internet ReviewsSteve RhodesThe movie starts wonderfully, ends great, and has perfect pacing throughout. |
| Austin ChronicleRobert FairesSure, Rosie Perez's greedy Muriel is a cartoon and her voice, always at full drill-bit whine, is wearing, but the warmth and graciousness apparent in every frame keep this movie touching and sweet. Give yourself over to this giving film and see what happens. |
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid Nusair...generally comes off as an absolutely charming romantic comedy that benefits substantially from the unequivocal chemistry between its stars. |
| Los Angeles TimesPeter RainerEven though It Could Happen to You has its tenderized, good citizenship side, it's been written (by Jane Anderson) and directed (by Andrew Bergman) with an embracing cheer. It's blissfully uncynical. |
| Miami HeraldRene RodriguezWhat really make the film are Bergman’s general restraint despite the nature of the material, and the strong central performances. |
