Slant Magazine
The film's moral lesson is too contradictory to be taken seriously. - 50
New York Post
Gould’s lugubrious presence is always welcome, and Rue plays her lovelorn part with verve. - 40
Village Voice
Even as Deb comes to embrace the vibrancy of urban life, she's still prey to a blinkered suburban viewpoint which becomes inscribed in the film itself. - 40
Arizona Republic
A popular topic for debate is whether television or movies are better right now. Movie defenders are not going to want to use Dorfman in Love to bolster their argument. - 40
New York Daily News
Brad Leong’s “quirky” romantic comedy retreads ground that is already so well worn, everyone just slides right through. - 40
Los Angeles Times
Brad Leong's comedy has some nicely miserable character beats. - 40
The Hollywood Reporter
Features a winning performance by Sara Rue as its titular heroine but otherwise has little to recommend it. Playing a wallflower who blossoms when she finally meets the right guy, the actress has charm to spare. - 40
The New York Times
The sentiments are heartfelt, but the execution is common.
