Critic Reviews

Peter Debruge

Smile feels like one man's answer to movies increasingly overloaded with sex and violence. Read full review

Sheri Linden

Causes don't get much worthier, and Smile is a labor of love, a portion of the film's proceeds earmarked for the humanitarian group. Read full review

Justin Chang

Well-meaning but dramatically lopsided tearjerker bogs down in generic teen angst and domestic squabbling. Read full review

Jon Strickland

If the dialectics here are strictly Hallmark, the film is lifted by some nice location work - all of the Chinese scenes are shot around Shanghai - and deepened somewhat by the bleak depiction of the emotional lives of Katie, her family and her friends. Read full review

Walter Addiego

Overall, it's pretty elementary stuff, along the lines of a Disney Channel TV movie. It's uplifting, and it's in a good cause. Read full review

Kevin Thomas

Smile is like a dose of cod liver oil: It may be good for you, but it's no fun. Read full review

I really wish I liked this movie. I tried and tried and tried, but it was just torture. The film would be a great illustration for a film class on editing on exactly what not to do. You can't keep showing the same thing over and over and keep the viewer interested.
