The most generous assumption is that the script was watered down by too many studio notes, pushing for ever-broader scenarios and ever-denser characters.

Chicago Reader

Old-school rom-coms can feel mechanical in their remorseless drive to grind out their happily ever afters in spite of character or logic. Sweethearts, in contrast, is a gentle little film that has real heart

New York Times

Bright, breezy and requiring little in the way of close attention, the teen rom-com “Sweethearts” is perfect for those who prefer their movies to be barely more than background noise.

Mark Meszoros

The News-Herald (Willoughby, OH)

With humor, heart and more than a bit of teen-movie raunchiness, Sweethearts succeeds in capturing that time in life when you’ve started college but are still trying to hold on to what you loved about high school.

Rated: 2.5/4

Megan McLachlan

The Contending

Weiss and co-writer Dan Brier’s script honors the rat-a-tat patter of Nora Ephron’s banter, and the leads have friendly chemistry, but it’s what’s going on around the couple’s story that makes this a hometown you’ll want to go back to for the holidays.

Jennifer Green

Common Sense Media

This return-to-high-school adventure rises slightly above others in the overstuffed canon of John Hughes knockoffs thanks to likeable leads (Shipka, Hiraga, and Hearon) and some quirky set-ups.

It's one of the best movies I have seen. Reminds you of the times you had in your teenage. The movie is well made, I wish more things happened in the movie. Definitely, this type of movies should be made more. It gives you hope, it makes you feel there is good in the world. The actors were great. More like the actor, actress movies should be made. I wish there were more movies like these, you are able to relate with your life.

Cute and charming...but, Underwhelming. Directing failed to capture the fun script and what the actors had to offer.

Such a fun rom com it's definitely worth a watch. Lots of humour/comedy. The actress from Sabrina the Netflix show did a great job.

Being a huge Nico fan, I thought this film was very lovable. Something you could stream at home and feel like your time was well-spent. Kiernan is not my favorite actress, but she was believable enough. This is not a story that will win any awards, but was fun for those who like a good YA romantic comedy. In addition, it was great to see the cast and filmmakers at the Savannah Film Fest. They did a great review of the making of the film at post-screening panel which made the film even more likable.

This movie was pure garbage. The writing was atrocious. The acting was even worse. I'm only giving it a star because I was able to watch the entire thing.

An absolute blast. I loved the characters and story. I really appreciated the ending as well. It's not your typical Romantic Comedy. Tim Treakle
