Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
You'll know better, but you'll still like it.
– Philip Wuntch,
Dallas Morning News,
30 Oct 2003
rotten:
Contrived and cliched, the dramatic momentum ends long before the movie does.
– Stephen Whitty,
Newark Star-Ledger,
30 Oct 2003
fresh:
If you're willing to swallow those formulaic plot machinations, you may reasonably enjoy this rough-hewn debut effort, which is far more effective in its quieter, dialogue-heavy moments than when it attempts more ambitious cinematic conceits.
– Frank Scheck,
Hollywood Reporter,
27 Oct 2003
rotten:
Alas, good intentions do not always a good movie make.
– V.A. Musetto,
New York Post,

rotten:
Pretty much of a mess, full of narrative gaps and characters who arbitrarily appear and disappear.
