Peter Debruge Miami Herald Amounts to little more than a downbeat soap opera. Rated: 1.5/4 May 22, 2007 Full Review Kevin Thomas Los Angeles Times As maudlin and overly familiar as it is earnest. May 11, 2007 Full Review Erin Clements Time Out As Downtown plods toward its Christmas Eve-set climax, the film's tendency to OD on melodrama detracts from its grittier moments. Rated: 3/6 Apr 21, 2007 Full Review Evan Henerson Los Angeles Daily News [Director] Zielinski's attempts at serving up grunge and grittiness largely fall flat. Scenes of sex and drug use are typically accompanied by a swooning and intrusive soundtrack. Rated: 2/4 May 11, 2007 Full Review Chuck Wilson L.A. Weekly Clichd though it may be, this movie was clearly made with love. May 10, 2007 Full Review John P. McCarthy Boxoffice Magazine We're asked to invest in too many characters; on the other hand, aside from Bujold, there's no one you want or need to know more about. Rated: 2.5/5 Apr 27, 2007 Full Review Read all reviews
