Reception
[edit]Katie Walsh of the Los Angeles Times wrote that the film is a "sweet tale with a smart storytelling device and charming performers, but not much more beyond the cute."[1]
Scott Tobias of Variety praised the performances of Perez and Moore but wrote that LeSchander "barely skims the surface of her book-smarts and his street-smarts, much less the cultural forces that keep them apart."[2]
Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter also praised the performances of Perez and Moore but wrote that the "narrative skimpiness makes their efforts for naught."[3]
