Lou Lumenick New York Post 08/12/2006
1/4
Excruciating as it is well meaning, Doug Bollinger's Waltzing Anna is a vanity production that turns serious issues about the aging into a schmaltzy dramatic comedy. Go to Full Review Elizabeth Weitzman New York Daily News 08/12/2006
1.5/4
Given the dismal reception that greeted their last comedy, Mail Order Bride, you'd think filmmakers Doug Bollinger and Robert Capelli Jr. would have considered alternate career choices. Go to Full Review Jim Ridley Village Voice 08/08/2006
The filmmakers care; the actors try; the closing dedication is heartfelt and sweet. The movie, sadly, is an IV drip of artery-clogging Lifetime movie-of-the-week goo. Go to Full Review Mark Keizer Los Angeles CityBeat 12/06/2006
Cowriters Bollinger and Capelli may have sincere intentions, but they're too immature and unpolished to pull off what they're attempting. Go to Full Review Kim Voynar Cinematical 08/24/2006
2/5
If this were a well-made film with particularly astounding acting, it might be easier to overlook the predictability of the plot. The script, unfortunately, is actually the least of Waltzing Anna's problems. Go to Full Review Neil Miller Film School Rejects 08/11/2006

11/27/2013 This movie defines the real meaning of love and companionship. It's a beautiful take on love in its purest and most honest form. The characters all fall completely in place throughout the storytline. It's amazingly fresh and funny. Kudos! See more 03/20/2012 If you can get past the way this movie looks (1980's quality) and get to the heart warming story than you can enjoy it. See more 03/06/2011 Cute, but quirky. The best part of this one is the sappy, happy ending. See more 08/15/2010 Liked this movie and thought it was very sweet. If you don't like sweet, this is not for you. All actors were well cast and had good chemistry. This is a same old/same old story but well done. Capelli was sort of hot in this film. He would be terrific in a well-made 30s movie remake of any kind. He has the look and the swagger for it. See more 03/04/2009 This was kind of a low quality movie with some good and some really bad acting. Definetly had some funny lines though. See more 02/28/2009 This was a horrible movie. The acting was poor, the screenplay trite, and the camera work amateurish. I could only stand to watch a half hour of the movie. No need to see the end, because I knew what the end would be after the first few minutes of the story. This screenplay is an insult to the elderly and the medical profession. Watch anything but this one. See more Read all reviews
