Los Angeles Times
Alba gives such a focused, interior portrayal that she just might have managed to carry the movie had it been better. - 40
Variety
A tone of fanciful absurdity is maintained throughout. - 38
New York Post
A good cast equipped with cute names is forced to muddle through terminal whimsy in this less-than-magical adaptation of Aimee Bender's adult fairy tale, sluggishly directed by Marilyn Agrelo, who more successfully helmed the delightful documentary "Mad Hot Ballroom." - 30
Village Voice
Jessica Alba gets plain-Jane crazy for An Invisible Sign, a syrupy "A Beautiful Mind" redux in which the starlet sports big brown bangs and Pippi Longstocking pigtails. - 20
Time Out
Except for two brief summits between Alba and Messina's pillowy lips, however, An Invisible Sign fails even to pander effectively. - 20
New York Daily News
Alba certainly tries her best at portraying not just a beauty but also a beautiful mind, yet very few things add up despite director Marilyn Agrelo's efforts. - 20
The New York Times
Cuter than a basket of puppies licking a litter of kittens, An Invisible Sign is an excruciatingly whimsical collision of adult themes and kid-friendly aesthetic.
