SFGATE
"Matthews holds his own with his experienced co-stars, and his half- talking/half-singing explanation of his criminal past is the movie's best scene." 
Canada
The Globe and Mail
"The problem is that director Wayne Wang seems deaf to the tonal differences between coming-of-age, magic realism and children's comedy."
United States
USA Today
"A sweet, family-friendly retelling of a touching and funny Newbery Award-winning children's book."
United States
New York Post
"Only mildly diverting and way too long for a movie aimed at kids"
United States
Chicago Tribune
"Tries hard to be sweet but plays like 'Pollyanna' with fleas"
