| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatA moving depiction of a teenage girl's quest for a way out of her sadness, grief, and loss over the sudden death of her beloved father. |
| Village VoiceNick SchagerAn engaging (if somewhat slender) portrait of the violence of adolescent maturation. |
| New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisIt’s all a bit precious and predictable. |
| Seattle TimesMoira MacDonaldIt's a pleasant-enough movie, but offers little that the book doesn't give its readers; far too quickly, it fades away. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfA leaden, rushed movie, with Blume's own son responsible for mucking with the nuances of the source material, flattening promising conflicts and painful introspection. |
| CinemalogueTodd Jorgenson... a perceptive work that should connect with young audiences and proves that Blume's emotional ideas still resonate. |
| Los Angeles TimesSheri LindenThe movie, though uneven, benefits from a strong sense of place and an exceptionally well-cast lead. |

| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenThe first movie adaptation of a Judy Blume is a treat especially for its principal audience of teen women. |
| WBAI RadioPrairie MillerTiger Eyes takes youth angst to another level in this page to screen adaptation. Touching on teen alcoholism and pregnancy, atom bombs, and aboriginal life in Los Alamos. |
