Reception
Katie Walsh of the Los Angeles Times wrote that the film is a "sweet tale with a smart storytelling device and charming performers, but not much more beyond the cute."
Scott Tobias of Variety praised the performances of Perez and Moore but wrote that LeSchander "barely skims the surface of her book-smarts and his street-smarts, much less the cultural forces that keep them apart."
Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter also praised the performances of Perez and Moore but wrote that the "narrative skimpiness makes their efforts for naught."
