The New York Times: Stephen Holden
Mr. Hynes, who wrote the screenplay, seems well aware of the challenge of breathing fresh life into a familiar formula. Much of the dialogue is so quirky it sounds overheard instead of scripted. The performances are correspondingly spontaneous.Read Full Review »

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Owen Gleiberman
