Film.com Ernest Hardy

Has a warm and intimate feel that helps push it a little deeper than its cable movie-of-the-week blueprint.

Variety David Sprague

Covers familiar territory unevenly, but Gil Cates Jr. directs his freshman feature with a mostly assured hand.

Los Angeles Times Kevin Thomas

Well-paced and solidly crafted.

TV Guide Maitland McDonagh

The main characters are defined by their problems, and the secondary characters (notably Brigette's parents) are so crudely drawn it's hard to imagine what Cates was thinking.

Village Voice Mark Holcomb

So committed to its by-the-numbers banality you wonder why it isn't part of the fall TV lineup.

LA Weekly Paul Malcolm

Lamely engineered and thoroughly exploited tragedy.

The New York Times A.O. Scott

By the end the most vivid figure on the screen is the lovable doggie who goes wherever dangling fingers are waiting to give the happy pooch a scratch.

New York Post Jonathan Foreman

The film is only 91 minutes long, but it seemed to stretch out for days.
