Sporting thick, black-rimmed glasses, a runaway imagination and enough nervous energy to light up Manhattan, Noya turns what could have been a pitiful character into a rambunctious imp.
Jeff Strickler, Minneapolis Star Tribune
Fresh
The winsome child/unappreciative adults memoir is almost a genre unto itself. But this version is particularly well-cast and well-told.
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Rotten
Agresti has a decent cast here, but his story is so thin, it threatens to float right off the screen, even when late plot developments add a twist or two.
Peter Howell, Toronto Star
Fresh
A child's film for adults.
Tom Long, Detroit News
