Chicago Sun-Times
Sweet and kind of touching, and I liked it. The difference, I think, is that the new one is lower on cynicism and higher on wisdom, and might actually contain some truth about the agonies of high school insecurity. - 70
Los Angeles Times
Often rowdy and uproarious, the film also has surprising depth and subtext. - 50
The New York Times
The cast is uniformly high spirited and attractive, and Ms. Beyer's direction, apart from a few over-weighted Wellesian camera angles, is functional. - 50
The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
The music, at least, is welcome. - 40
Dallas Observer
Sadly, though, the movie as a whole feels blatantly dedicated to fleecin' da kidz. - 30
The A.V. Club
This is teen product at its most generic. - 30
Variety
Stuffed with attitude but just as hackneyed as the original, Love Don't Cost a Thing brings a year of exceptionally lame youth comedies to a fitting conclusion. - 25
ReelViews
The result is an atrociously unfunny, unromantic, and unpleasant product.
