A warm-hearted romp that will leave you smiling -- and strutting.

USA Today by Staff [Not Credited]
A further dose of "been there/done that."

Village Voice
Writer- director Glen Goei, a London stage actor, ably guides his likable cast through this by-the-numbers story, but he is hobbled by the film's lifeless soundtrack.

Light and innocuous.

New York Post by Jonathan Foreman
Amateurishly written and directed, and so predictable that it hurts.
