    While the premise of the story is a good thing, I have issues with the execution. It was less than perfect, but in all, not a bad film. It could have been edited to be a bit of a tighter production, too.

Jay Boyar, Orlando Sentinel

It's all rather familiar and sitcomy. But its silliness is its salvation. Full Review

Charles Ealy, Dallas Morning News

Offers a liberating glimpse at a society that's full of hope. Full Review

Jeff Strickler, Minneapolis Star Tribune

The actors attack their roles with a lot of energy, and the story moves along at a brisk pace. That's a big plus, because if it ever slowed down, we'd have too much time to think about how silly it is. Full Review

John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press

The writer-director team of Juan Luis Iborra and Yolanda Garcia Serrano stage the lunacy like a season's worth of Spanish TV sitcoms strung together into a single feature.

Sweet, rambling but sometimes very funny comedy. Full Review

Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times

Made from a sophisticated European perspective, this is a light summer entertainment with an able, highly attractive cast. Full Review

Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter

While lacking the depth or cohesiveness that would make it truly memorable, Km. 0 is a reasonably entertaining, well-acted effort.

Ty Burr, Boston Globe

If it's ultimately hard to care for these sweet little cartoon characters as the directors move them about their checkerboard, it's also difficult to kick. Full Review

Edward Guthmann

Edward Guthmann, San Francisco Chronicle

A bland, contrived soap opera. Full Review

One of the happiest surprises of the year.
