 "...feels a bit rushed, suggesting nothing more than an homage to 'Pretty in Pink' or 'Some Kind of Wonderful.' The saving graces are the cinematography and production design, as the style is nearly pitch-perfect..." |

 "...overtly hammers away ideas about corrupt bureaucracy squashing the little man... the audience must sit through character after character spouting zealous, didactic ideals as the plot slowly moves to a ludicrously schemed, if somewhat unexpected, ending." |

Very Good |
 "Anthony J. Baker and Alexi Wasser pull off fine, subtle performances... while the narrative might be thin and lack drama, the film as a whole proves a sweet, revealing look at two forlorn beings coming together in a banal world." |

 "...uniformly lacks excitement.... ultimately serves as an anecdotal account of what it's like to work at a low-wage job and loving it.... what's missing from the film is a real feel." |

 "...somewhat achieves a lurid mix between a juicy morality tale and 'Boogie Nights's' fetish for nostalgia. Gallo's sensational porn tale, though, lacks impact..." |

Weak |
 "...eventually falls flat in its heavy-handed efforts to score an emotional homerun... indie misfire is more of a baseball rendition of 'Friday Night Lights,' minus the acute insight... the loose feel and soulful quality the director hopes to achieve never take shape." |

Poor |
 "Trite, silly, and grating... a flimsy excuse for a nostalgic musical that shoots for playful satire but ultimately proves staggeringly impotent." |
