| Arizona RepublicBill MullerCombines a worn-out premise -- young woman leaves unhappy home for big city -- with some of the silliest characters ever to reach the screen. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekAn anemic little paean to a type of Hollywood storytelling that would have been better left undisturbed. |
| Village VoiceBen KenigsbergScrewball it isn't, but it has screwy down pat. |
| New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanSo laughably preposterous that it's thoroughly entertaining. |
| New York PostMegan LehmannThe film is lousy with cartoonishly off-putting characters. |
| User ReviewClaudine JI'll start by saying that I don't like romantic movies. With that said, Nola is a wonderful light hearted movie. After reading some of the other reviewers who seem to be looking for Shakespere quality, I have no doubt they give very few positive reviews. I feel this movie captures the true essence of a love story, not an autobiography. I like what Emma Rossum did with her character. The fact that she is not your typical Kansasite is inmaterial to the movie. Would the writer have been better off is she came from a more suburban area, probably, but either way leaves little difference in the way of the plot. Watchers of this movie will leave with a good feeling and a little choked up. Not all movies can be To Kill A Mockingbird, and Thank God for that. Sometimes a corny feel good movie is just the right ticket. |
| User ReviewJ KNot a wide release--I've only seen it on Lifetime, but it is a great movie with a great story. Nola (Emmy Rossum) comes to New York to look for her father and a better life. She gets that life but ends up entangled with the wrong man as her friends fight to save her. A must-see, especially since Rossum sings at the end. Bring Nola to DVD! |
| User ReviewEsther M[font=Century Gothic][color=black]I can't believe the reviews I saw for this movie! Ok, it may not be the greatest movie to ever be released for your TV viewing pleasure, but I do think it is one of the better Lifetime movies. At least this one [u]some[/u] men can watch. And it's not over the top gushy with "you can't leave me because I have a brain tumor and our daughter is a lesbian so I'm gonna kill myself". God poeple, be a little more open.[/color][/font] |
| User ReviewAllie PAmazing film! Great soundtrack and brill acting :D! Definitely recommend it! |
| User ReviewHeather MThis was predictable and defnitely not among the best-produced movies I've ever seen, but I really enjoyed it anyway. The characters are quirky and likeable (especially Emmy Rossum's) and I was really absorbed in the movie, even though I knew exactly what was going to happen. This is an enjoyable little film. |
