Critic Reviews

Clark Collis

Mariah Carey is perfectly fine playing a waitress who dreams of becoming, yes, a singer -- even if the superstar's presence in such a small venture seems jarring. Read full review

Carrie Rickey

Tennessee is drenched in melancholy, a trip through a tunnel of pain illuminated by a lone ray of light at the end. Read full review

Ronnie Scheib

Ultimately, nothing can save this pic from the warm fuzzies. Read full review

Tim Grierson

Woodley’s film mostly floats along on its melancholy drift, so well-attuned to the low-key rhythms of its beaten-down characters that it never quite summons up enough energy for the rest of us, who are along for the ride. Read full review

Elizabeth Weitzman

The good news for Carey is that she gets to prove she's a pretty decent actress after all. The bad news, of course, is that she's done it in a movie no one has any other reason to see. Read full review

Stephen Holden

It isn't saying much, but at least her (Carey) work here is more substantial than in the catastrophic "Glitter." Read full review

Staff (Not credited)

A twist ending does nothing to make the previous 85 minutes interesting. Read full review
