Leave your thoughts about Mona Lisa Smile.
| Talking Pictures (U.S.)Tony Toscano... I found the film for the most part, a good date film - just don't date anyone who is a film critic. |
| Dallas Morning NewsPhilip WuntchFor a movie that superficially encourages free thinking, each plot development is strictly formulaic. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura CliffordThe screenwriting duo...use the restrictive mores of the 1950s to fashion a soap opera whose characters are oft too modern for its decade. |
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderIf you are a fan of Julia Roberts' huge, horse-like head and her equally equine braying laugh, rest assured both are in large supply. |
| Denver Rocky Mountain NewsRobert DenersteinA true rarity, an often-dumb movie about supposedly smart people. |
| Long Island PressPrairie MillerA keen sense of how women have swam through a whole lot of repression and pain back then, to pave the way for females to breeze along through in the here and now. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThe characters involve us, we sympathize with their dreams and despair of their matrimonial tunnel vision, and at the end we are relieved that we listened to Miss Watson and became the wonderful people who we are today. |
| Nick's Flick PicksNick DavisAmbiguity [in this film] is the unwitting product of outrageous disorganization, wild ambivalence, and an unerring instinct for, well, error. |
| Charlotte ObserverLawrence ToppmanThe most radical thing about the movie, the thing that may make it most appealing to modern audiences, is that the filmmakers say both sides are right. |
| Boston GlobeWesley MorrisThe reliable Mike Newell directs Mona Lisa Smile with such assurance that the important moments are never mawkish or dull, and he encourages the women to act with absolute conviction. |
