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.
Read Full Review >Variety David Sprague
Covers familiar territory unevenly, but Gil Cates Jr. directs his freshman feature with a mostly assured hand.
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >Village Voice Mark Holcomb
So committed to its by-the-numbers banality you wonder why it isn't part of the fall TV lineup.
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >New York Post Jonathan Foreman
The film is only 91 minutes long, but it seemed to stretch out for days.
