There s a definite whiff of The Famous Five in [this] kids-together-ya- ya adventure... Everyone's so nice, it's unreal. Nothing unexpected happens. There is charm, there are tears... Why the film fails to light le touche-papier... is hard to pinpoint. It feels tweak-tweak, nudge-nudge, without being wow! cripes! gosh!

(Angus Wolfe Murray, Scotsman)

My handkerchief remained unused... although I might have taken it out to wave in surrender as the film keeps firing the same trite story ammunition at us.

(Nigel Andrews, Financial Times)

Parts of this gentle comedy have a gauche charm, but the director... has on this evidence no sense at all of cinema... The whole thing looks and sounds as if it were made by the school film club.

(Sheila Johnston, Independent)
