Critic Reviews:
- " Endearing, enduring, with just a few bits of crude humor. " – Nell Minow
- " Avoids a misstep common among girl-empowerment flicks, which often emasculate the male lead to make the heroine truly heroic… manages to make both leads appealing. " – Steven D. Greydanus
- " A thoroughly charming performer with a bracing freshness about her that carries the film, [Hathaway] establishes credible chemistry with Brit thesp Dancy. " – David Rooney
