Leave your thoughts about Raising Victor Vargas.
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris HewittFull of humor and heart, it is the best family comedy since Moonstruck. |
| Kalamazoo GazetteJames SanfordThe movie's greatest asset is its naturalism: The actors, none of them professionals, slip into these roles so effortlessly, it's easy to forget they're working from a script... |
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris Hewitt (St. Paul)Full of humor and heart, it is the best family comedy since Moonstruck. |
| Window to the MoviesJeffrey ChenThese teens are not off-putting nor rude and crude, as so many movies like to make teens out to be. They are human ... the movie gives much respect to the intelligence they have inside. |
| Hollywood ReporterKirk HoneycuttSollett reminds you of what it is like to be 16. |
| Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta)Brian GibsonEven though Raising Victor Vargas offers a fairly standard teen love story, it's also a solid, intriguing look at an immigrant family in New York. |
| London Evening StandardNeil NormanPeter Sollett's remarkable movie about the lives and loves of Latino teenagers in New York's Lower East Side is an unexpected treat. |
| National PostKatrina OnstadThe true love story at the heart of the film is about family, a theme rarely handled with such grace and humour. |
| Des Moines RegisterJeffrey BrunerAn exceptionally strong debut film that rings true and honest about teenagers and their emotions. |
| CitysearchErich ScholzVictor and Judy are so appealing and realistic in their lead roles that you'll swear you're watching a documentary. |
