Critics Consensus

Caution when walking Barefoot: This all-too-disturbing attempt at levity painfully stumbles thanks to an oblivious cast.

Michael Nordine

Village Voice

The gradual revelation that there's more to Daisy than meets the eye is no great surprise, but it does at least negate - too late! - some of the more troubling subtext.

Tom Long

Detroit News

It's all thoroughly, intentionally lightweight, and the film's final 10 minutes is a rush of highly unlikely smiley face resolutions. Still, Wood somehow makes it work as well as it can.

Rated: B-

New York Post

He's a rebellious trust-funder who specializes in strip clubs, one-night stands and gambling debts. She's a possibly schizophrenic mental patient raised in near-captivity by an abusive mother. How could these two kids not fall in love?

Rated: 1/4

Evan Rachel Wood gives Daisy a sort of Goldie Hawn meets Liza Minnelli that is comical and endearing even as a story unfolds that isn't even remotely believable.

Rated: 2.5/4.0

Suffers from a suffocating, inescapable earnestness that results in a nonsensical fairy tale that is neither magical nor likeable.

Rated: 1.5/5

Romantic dramedy is touching but shallow; mature themes.

I like the plot of having an insane asylum patient be his fake girlfriend, that's a pretty unique story right off the bat, but TV Movie level acting & scenes, not to mention random things are thrown in like him owing a debt & being a jailbird & his parents bailing him out acting like it's normal to get arrested, very strange & unrealistic scenes.

Rachel Wood’s character is over the top in a really dumb way. I wouldn’t bother watching it if you didn’t yet.

A very cute movie that is being too harshly critiqued. It was enjoyable and the characters are pleasant to watch as they grow,

I generally choose to ignore the critics reviews and form my own opinion. Quite a few reviews saying things like it's unbelievable and not like real life - that's because it's a movie, a work of fiction! I loved the plot even, if it's apparently unbelievable, and the cast. There were some laugh out load moments and some emotional moments, and, of course, a happy ending. I think this is a feel good movie and one on my "watch again" list.

I really enjoyed this. A romance movie with a bit of edge. The chemistry was strong and the story sweet whilst dealing with mental issues. If you are struggling for a romance to watch I would recommend
