New York Magazine

"It catches you off-guard... The melodies - in both the songs and the lyrical orchestral sections - are so easy and infectious you'd swear they were classics... The showstopper comes near the end, a fluid, gorgeously choreographed diner number where busboys dance with their mops and waitresses tap on counters and the camera hurtles along with the exuberantly charming Garcia as she leaps off stools and twirls among the fryers... Like the movie itself, it's using raw, limited resources to reach for the stars." - David Edelstein
