| sbs.com.auPeter GalvinBeneath all that affection is a lot of cool calculation. |
| Urban CinefileLouise KellerA sweet film that toys with relationships, passions and bargains, Second Hand Wedding embraces the notion that there is more than a bargain to be found at garage sales. |
| MovieTime, ABC Radio NationalJason Di RossoNever anything but clichéd, this film tugs at all the emotional levers but struggles to elicit a single tear or giggle. |

| Sydney Morning HeraldPaul ByrnesSecond Hand Wedding is a singular underachievement. Some NZ newspapers have compared the film to The Castle for its down-home modesty and charm. It has much to be modest about. |
| At the Movies (Australia)Margaret PomeranzI don't think it's a masterpiece but I think it's got heart. |

| User ReviewJill SThis is a mega movie! I cried and cried at it, so LOVED it! Must get on DVD when it's released. We were warned we might not get some of the NZ references, but I didn't think there was anything we missed out on - it's great! |
| User ReviewTessa Lgreat movie as far as kiwi entertainment goes. I thought what made it interesting was the fact that a lot of the movie was filmed locally. |
