Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press: More clever than we have any right to expect. Read more
Patrick Z. McGavin, Chicago Tribune: This is a movie that is neither sentimental nor cheap; it never takes itself too seriously, and it has faith in the intelligence of its audience. Read more

Kevin Courrier, Globe and Mail: A modest and charming bit of family entertainment. Read more
