The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisApr 7, 2011
This is Ms. Cattrall's movie all the way. Photographed more cruelly than a tabloid victim, she gives Monica a grubby dignity that her "Sex and the City" alter ego, Samantha Jones, would wholeheartedly applaud. Read full review

IndieWireEric KohnApr 6, 2011
Like the poster, Meet Monica Velour is engaging to a point, but leaves much to be desired. Read full review

New York PostLou LumenickApr 8, 2011
Writer-director Keith Bearden was also smart enough to round up a couple of other old pros: Brian Dennehy, as the hero's eccentric grandfather, and Keith David, as a wise collector of pop-culture artifacts. Read full review

EmpirePhilip WildingJul 31, 2011
Beautifully acted, it's a tender love story with one or two belly laughs. Read full review

Boxoffice MagazineRichard MoweApr 12, 2011
Both emotionally charged and at times extremely funny, with humor emerging naturally from the characters' predicaments, Meet Monica Velour has the feel-good factor without comprising its ideals. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckApr 4, 2011
The effectively deglamorized Cattrall is terrific, investing her portrayal with a complex mixture of vulnerability, toughness and still-powerful sexuality. Read full review

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Rick GroenMay 13, 2011
Poor Cattrall is caught in a script that, much like the white teddy, is an impossibly tight squeeze, obliging her to hit the farcical laughs while still playing the cellulite realism. Read full review

Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanApr 16, 2011
The role of a former star of the "golden age" of porn sounds perfect for Kim Cattrall, and she handles it nicely - at least, in the rare moments when this indie comedy isn't terminally contrived. Read full review

San Francisco ChronicleAmy BiancolliApr 14, 2011
A road trip into the heart of that bumpiest of territories, the adolescent id. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesMark OlsenApr 7, 2011
In some ways this film's biggest failing is that it can't decide who's story it is telling. Read full review

ObserverRex ReedApr 6, 2011
It's definitely worth seeing for Ms. Cattrall. This gal can really act. Read full review

Village VoiceMichelle OrangeApr 5, 2011
The result is unbalanced by cartoonish flourishes-Ingram's performance being the chief offender-that overpower Cattrall's subtler character work. Read full review

New York Daily NewsJoe NeumaierApr 8, 2011
The deepest chord is hit by Cattrall, who almost manages to wipe away the memory of "Sex and the City 2." Read full review

Time OutNick SchagerApr 6, 2011
The film succeeds only in turning one's stomach via implausibilities, inanities and the unwelcome sight of Brian Dennehy's naked ass. Read full review
