Sandra Hall Sydney Morning Herald 08/20/2010
3/5
Having begun as a well-meaning but uneven mix of medical melodrama and fraught love story with whimsical accessories, it finally locates its heartbeat. Go to Full Review Jake Wilson The Age (Australia) 08/19/2010
2.5/5
If Matching Jack were a telemovie, I'd be tempted to switch off. Go to Full Review David Stratton At the Movies (Australia) 08/11/2010
3.5/5
There's a lot to appreciate in a film which is really about the very basics -- life, love and death. Go to Full Review David Michael Brown Empire Magazine Australasia 08/22/2010

Beautifully played and powerfully moving, despite the sugary clichs. Go to Full Review Jason Di Rosso MovieTime, ABC Radio National 08/20/2010
Lynne Renew and David Parker's script is based on a wonderful premise, but the resulting film is uneven, straddling adult drama and family-friendly tear-jerker without doing either well. Go to Full Review Julie Rigg MovieTime, ABC Radio National 08/20/2010
It's melodrama, but powerful, with insights into the way cancer changes lives. I howled. Take Kleenex. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

03/24/2016 A tearjerker for a Thursday night...... See more 02/09/2016 A bit sentimental but the two child actors make this tearful and honest. It is their relationship and friendship which makes this good and the fact Kodi Smit-McPhee is a superb young actor. His underplay of the dying character is worth watching. See more 06/01/2014 Despite its grim subject, the movie sends a positive message.....Melbourne serves as a backdrop to the movie which is photograph in all of its beauty ...credible performances from Jacinda and the two children... See more 12/29/2013 Lovely movie, but quite sad at the same time. I really sobbed with Finn's passing. See more 10/22/2013 Tear jerker romance involving childhood leukemia, infidelity, and an Irish sailor in Australia. It would never have worked but for the casting of Nesbitt. See more 12/12/2012 Great actors. Ok minus movie. The ending is cliche. See more Read all reviews
