Mark Kermode Observer (UK) 12/01/2013
3/5
Although occasionally the multiple plot strands seem to be pulling against each other, there's a warmth to the production that eases us over the structural cracks and makes us care about the outcome. Go to Full Review Sophie Monks Kaufman Little White Lies 11/29/2013
2/5
This confusing Cuban/Scottish romantic roadtrip movie does offer some very modest pleasures. Go to Full Review Mike McCahill Guardian 11/28/2013
2/5
Lame gags and supporting turns ensure it concludes closer to Mamma Mia! than Marx. Go to Full Review Graham Young Birmingham Mail 12/10/2013
3/5
If the plot gets a bit confusing there are mild diversions with the landscapes and music, though even that is unlikely to send you dancing all the way home. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

12/04/2013 I'll keep it short (I wish the film had)... Either I got out the wrong side of the flower bed this morning, or this is a bunch of poppycocks. The only person who comes out smelling faintly of roses is the striking Cuban ballet dancer Carlos Acosta. The others wilt terribly. Lacks depth, chemistry, subtlety and laughs - terminal in a so-called romantic comedy. 100 minutes long, 100 minutes *too* long. See more 12/04/2013 A beautiful and funny film. It will make you want to go to Cuba. See more 12/03/2013 An entertaining, feel good film. Great music, very pleasing on the eyes. Enough twists in the plot to keep you interested. Thoroughly enjoyed it. See more 11/30/2013 I loved this film! It's great to see a movie that's intelligent, funny and poignant. Carlos Acosta had amazing screen presence and I look forward to seeing him in more films See more Read all reviews
