Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Nostalgia is used as a distancing device -- to keep us safely insulated from the boy's immediate grief, love, and passion.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,
23 Oct 2004
fresh:
"Summer of '42" is a memory movie, written, directed and acted with such uncommon good humor that I don't think you'll be put off by its sweet soft-focus, at least until you start analyzing it afterwards.
– Vincent Canby,
New York Times,
9 May 2005
rotten:
It forever misses, unlike American Graffiti, the heady sexual climate of adolescence to concentrate on the circumstances of the sex act itself.
– Geoff Andrew,
Time Out,
24 Jun 2006
rotten:
Summer of '42 has a large amount of charm and tenderness; it also has little dramatic economy and much eye-exhausting photography which translates to forced and artificial emphasis on a strungout story.
