2/4
So laughably preposterous that it's thoroughly entertaining. Go to Full Review
Megan Lehmann New York Post Jul 23, 2004
1/4
A dubious script that detonates into a full-blown disaster midway through. Go to Full Review
Jan Stuart Newsday Jul 23, 2004
1.5/4
Has everything you want from a good bad movie: overheated drama, overripe performances, arch characters and fruity dialogue. Go to Full Review
Doris Toumarkine Film Journal International Aug 8, 2004
There's not a frame of truth in it. Go to Full Review

2.5/5
Hruska's bloodless little fairy tale is utterly innocuous and instantly forgettable. Go to Full Review

Jun 2, 2018 If you want a lot of close ups of a big-eyed girl who can't act her way out of a paper bag, Nola is the movie for you. See more May 20, 2017 Emmy Rossum is her usual, adorable self. But otherwise, the rest of this low budgeter is a roller coaster mix of sweet, then ridiculous, nice, then atrocious. Back-and-forth, with some terrible acting. But Rossum salvages this one slightly. See more Feb 2, 2015 If I didn't know any better, I'd say this was some kind of film that would have been shown on HBO in the 80's, except with a PG rating. It even has the look of a film whose original widescreen aspect ratio has been compressed into an Academy ratio. See more Jan 1, 2012 Horrible dialogue, horribly drawn caricatures, poor acting. Unfinishably bad, sedated TV movie at best. See more Oct 20, 2011 This movie is half corny and half wonderful. I never would have given it a chance if it weren't for Rossum. See more Jan 30, 2011 One full star for the awful goat singing done by Emmy Rossum, and another half off for a quick and haste beginning. As a singer the goating just really pissed me off along with operatic pronunciation and placements. Story is good acting is good plot is ok. See more Read all reviews
