Critic Reviews

50	New York Daily News Awkwardly plotted drama about a runaway child in Central Park.
40	TV Guide Allie Cahill Has the dubious appeal of a preachy "Afterschool Special."
30	The New York Times Remains a sadly earthbound thing, mired in a dismal realism that lies far from its natural environment.
25	New York Post Elaborate vanity production.
10	Village Voice A stinky dumpster for sentimental dung about homelessness and the magical mecca that isn't Manhattan.
