| Salt Lake TribuneSean P. MeansIt doesn't deliver a consistently enjoyable experience, because the quality of this compilation varies wildly. |

| San Francisco ChronicleWalter V. Addiego"Stars in Shorts" lives up to its title by offering the likes of Judi Dench, Colin Firth, Jason Alexander, Keira Knightley, Lily Tomlin, Kenneth Branagh and Julia Stiles in films ranging from eight to 25 minutes. |
