David Sterritt

This deliciously offbeat Canadian comedy gets its charm from marvelous acting and from a screenplay bursting with ideas. Great fun. Read full review

Kyle Smith

All of this is punctuated with refreshingly strange wit. Read full review

Stina Chyn

McGowan’s film isn’t just about following this boy’s private quest to accomplish the impossible. It is also about how he affects the other characters in the film. Read full review

Kenneth Turan

Though Butcher is appealing, Saint Ralph is anchored by Scott's persuasive work as a model of intelligent decency. Read full review

Gregory Kirschling

At first, Ralph and the movie have moxie -- the kid even gets busted for pleasuring himself in the public pool. Then Ralph starts asking us to take this cornball mission seriously. Read full review

Elizabeth Weitzman

The real miracle here is that the hard-working cast manages to turn McGowan's script into an intermittently touching tale. Read full review

Stephen Holden

This crude, inspirational tear-jerker is as sweet as a bowl of instant oatmeal smothered in molasses. It should please those who honestly believe that Santa Claus and God are synonymous; others may retch. Read full review

It is not only enjoyable for its fun and wit, but also for being well-done as a period piece from the 50's.
