Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
It has just enough charm to be watchable.
– Jay Boyar,
Orlando Sentinel,

rotten:
The filmmakers can't seem to unearth the novel's inherent lightheartedness and instead treat too many events with earnest seriousness, trampling the original story's lively spirit in heavy-handed drama.
– Connie Ogle,

fresh:
With eloquent dialogue but scant smoldering passions, the mushy machinations nicely nudge director Tim Fywell's gentle little film.
– Bruce Westbrook,
Houston Chronicle,

rotten:
Dollops on the usual romantic, family and class conflicts with a very heavy ladle, which pretty much smothers the whimsical mood Fywell strains so hard to attain.
– Terry Lawson,

fresh:
A refreshingly mature look at first love and life's often-rough transitions.
