| MattPais.comMatt PaisIt would be nice if movies stopped trying to make young girls aspire to be princesses. |
| FilmDrunkVincent ManciniIt's a movie about a love-struck teen who can't go outside or else she'll get a tumor, and it's every bit as over-the-top, melodramatic, and badly acted as an actual teen romance. I kind of loved it. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekBathetic and corny, and more suitable for a young people's cable TV channel than the big screen. |
| The Hollywood NewsKat HughesMidnight Sun might not have the most original of stories, but it has a ton of heart, charm and emotional charge to melt the coldest of hearts. |
| Cinemalogue.comTodd JorgensonAlthough its two photogenic teenage leads generate some decent chemistry and charm, that alone can't save this aggressively sentimental romance. |
| UproxxVince ManciniIt’s still saccharine, overwrought, blandly acted, painfully earnest, and uber-dramatic, and constantly staring longingly at the night sky and bodies of water for some reason, but… teen romance is all of those things. It fits. Maybe the Sparks formula isn’t so bad as long as Sparks himself isn’t involved. |
| RogerEbert.comChristy LemireBoth actors are gorgeous, of course, which heightens the romantic fantasy of it all, but there's also a naturalism to them that's appealing. |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckMidnight Sun does an effective job of tugging at vulnerable teenage hearts, while managing to provide a few laughs along the way. None of the film rings remotely true, especially the cornball conclusion, but the two young leads are so darn attractive and appealing that one can't help being caught up in their characters' poignant romance. |
