Critic Reviews

  • Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter

    A would-be magical romantic comedy whose execution doesn't live up to the cleverness of its central conceit.

  • Megan Lehmann, New York Post

    Returning Mickey Stern barely gets off first base, although the quaint Fire Island setting makes it easy on the eye.

  • Dave Kehr, New York Times

    Returning Mickey Stern is a sweet, well-intended picture, but like its title character, it is not quite good enough for the big leagues.

  • Kevin Crust, Los Angeles Times

    A bland romantic comedy that comes up short on both laughs and love.
