Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
It's a winning, heartfelt and conflicted piece where the conflicts often resolve themselves in surprising ways.
A coming-of-age, coming-out, romantic comedy, religious intolerance flick, and if that sounds a bit crowded, that's because it is.
A fairly flat, predictable tale.
It's more melodrama than drama or love story, and Cox, who wrote Sweet Home Alabama, seems to have never met a stereotype he didn't like.
