Lou Lumenick New York Post 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. Rated: 1/4 Aug 12, 2006 Full Review Elizabeth Weitzman New York Daily News 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. Rated: 1.5/4 Aug 12, 2006 Full Review Jim Ridley Village Voice 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. Aug 8, 2006 Full Review Mark Keizer Los Angeles CityBeat Cowriters Bollinger and Capelli may have sincere intentions, but they're too immature and unpolished to pull off what they're attempting. Dec 6, 2006 Full Review Kim Voynar Cinematical 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. Rated: 2/5 Aug 24, 2006 Full Review Neil Miller Film School Rejects Rated: C- Aug 11, 2006 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member 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! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Cute, but quirky. The best part of this one is the sappy, happy ending. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member This was kind of a low quality movie with some good and some really bad acting. Definetly had some funny lines though. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Read all reviews
