Sara Stewart, New York Post
At its most entertaining when the parrot does the talking. Full Review

Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times
An offbeat romance fueled by pets and pithy aphorisms. Full Review

Mark Holcomb, Village Voice
Not a bad premise, but first-time director Margaret Whitton fails to temper the sappiness with real human crustiness. Full Review

Nora Lee Mandel, Film-Forward.com
A lovely little modern screwball comedy that only hard-hearted cynics will resist. An unexpected bonus comes with the delightful stream of old pro's as...master storytellers. Full Review

Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, Spirituality and Practice
