The complex relationships between fathers and daughters and the lifelong consequences of the relationships are examined.

A disappointingly monotonous weepie.

Rated: 1.5/4

Time Out

[Jaglom's] closing dedication -- "For my daughter" -- turns this into something actively creepy, as opposed to merely brainless, boring and inept.

Rated: 1/5

Mr. Jaglom displays an endearing lack of cynicism but an equal lack of discipline.

Rated: 2.5/5

Henry Jaglom has been making indie movies for decades. He's a devotee of unadorned camerawork and semi-improvised dialogue -- but some actors are better at improv than others.

Rated: 1.5/4

Armond White

New York Press

Against this Judd Apatow era, Jaglom's exploratory filmmaking requires a personal response unhindered by TV formula. His semi-improvised vignettes go in unexpected places, often profoundly emotional directions...

NYC Movie Guru

Too contrived, sophomoric and unmoving, despite a lively soundtrack and a radiant performance by the genuinely beautiful Tanna Frederick.

Rated: 5.5/10

There were some nice things in the film, but it did not all come together. It was hard to stay with it, but I love Victoria Tennant. I figured out the big plot twist right away, it was not a challenge. Good for a rainy day with nothing else to do.

I;ll simply put full blame for this inept, unsavory, mess on Jaglom and call it a night.

This film cracked me up - until the end. Irene, played beautifully by Tanna Frederick, is a real nut case, I knew someone like her once - she was hard to take but pople admired the fact that she had so much energy. Anyway, she;s an emotional train wreck of a girl, looking for her lost daddy in all her date and trying to "do it right" by reading all the popular books on dating. Irene In Time is funny and moving in some parts. Victoria Tennant is wonderful as Irene's mom. And you can't lose in a movie that had both David "the Sopranos" Proval and Karen Black.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars
