Slate
The elements in A Walk on the Moon, which is directed by the actor Tony Goldwyn (the bad guy in "Ghost") and written by Pamela Gray, feel miraculously right. - 90
The New York Times
Even when it turns turbulent, the film sustains its warm summer glow, and makes itself a conversation piece about the moral issues it means to raise. - 90
Newsweek
A Walk on the Moon not only effectively captures the emotional development of all its characters, but it also neatly encapsulates the tumult of the 60s. - 80
Village Voice
Tony Goldwyn, making his directorial debut, lets his cast do the work for him, and they hold up well. - 75
Rolling Stone
Whenever the drama drifts into soap opera, the actors restore the balance. - 70
L.A. Weekly
Paula Gray wrote the script (it was her UCLA senior thesis), and if there are gooey spots, there's also nicely turned, lived-in dialogue and a gentle affection for all her characters. - 70
Washington Post
It believes, in the end, in the decency of most people. - 63
The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
Standing back a step from A Walk on the Moon's dippy charms, the movie delivers less than it initially promises.
