Hemingway's Garden of Eden has not been reviewed by Broad National Press
Stephen Holden, New York Times: POOR "...stars Mena Suvari as the meanest mean girl (pun intended) to spit venom in any film since I don't know when.... there has been no book-to-screen translation of Hemingway's work quite as atrocious..." (Read the full review...) 548 words, 12/10/10 Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News: WEAK (cg) "The scenery's gorgeous, but one wonders how the original author would have felt about being in this garden in the first place." (Read the full review...) 110 words, 12/10/10 Mark Olsen, Los Angeles Times: WEAK "Aside from a general lack of intensity that keeps it from really capturing the grasp of romantic obsession, inarguably the biggest problem with 'Eden' is a structural one.... a literary B-side turned into something not awful, just forgettable." (Read the full review...) 254 words, 12/10/10 Kyle Smith, New York Post: POOR (cg) "Everybody flirts with everyone else as director John Irvin pours on a level of shopping-mall-gift-shop-kitsch that would shame Wayne Newton.... for all of the principals' exaggerated posing and hints of colorful self-destruction, nothing much happens." (Read the full review...) 249 words, 12/10/10 Michael Atkinson, Village Voice/LA Weekly: WEAK "...this quaintly racy version of Papa's most hated novel has a few bullets in its barrel... but the resulting sangria cocktail is mild, unchallenging, and kinda dull." (Read the full review...) 201 words, 12/08/10
Cary Darling, Dallas Morning News: WEAK (cg) "It's all supposed to radiate a sense of finding mad love on the knife's edge of danger but, under the direction of John Irvin ('The Dogs of War') from a script by James Scott Linville, it just seems like a bunch of actors playing dress-up."

It is occasionally comic, though -- like reading the finalists for one of those Bad Sex In Fiction awards." (Read the full review...) 295 words, 12/09/10 Jesse Cataldo, Slant: WEAK (cg) "...a turgid, unsatisfying rendering of the author's risqué uncompleted opus.... Hemingway's story, itself already a flawed working bordering on the tawdry, has been shaped into an ultimately hollow and tedious film." (Read the full review...) 455 words, 12/05/10

Ronnie Scheib, Daily Variety: POOR "...mannered, bloodless and appallingly thesped... though unlikely to set Hemingway rolling in his grave, may still have viewers rolling in the aisles.... aims for a level of sophistication miles beyond tyro scripter James Scott Linville's callow reach."
