Critic Reviews

Jack Mathews

Danny Deckchair may be a trifle, but it offers a breezy lift for the dog days of summer. Read full review

M. E. Russell

A charming small-town comedy, thanks to the playfully romantic lead actors. Read full review

Sara Gebhardt

This charming, hopeful story does very well just by validating our daydreams. Read full review

Stephen Holden

A pleasantly sappy fable of new beginnings that suggests a Frank Capra film sweetened with an extra layer of sugar glaze. Read full review

Nathan Rabin

Best known for "Notting Hill," Ifans remains a charming actor, but even his fine work can't get this lead zeppelin off the ground. Read full review

Ella Taylor

American-born writer-director Jeff Balsmeyer can't seem to make up his mind whether he's making a gentle romantic comedy with heartfelt trimmings, or a full-court Aussie farce. Read full review

Marc Savlov

A funny and quirky movie, very light hearted and super silly. What better way to spend a rainy day!
