Reviews

Robert Koehler wrote in the journal Variety of 4 May 2006, the film was inspired by New Age. However, the recitation of the calls for a better life can not replace a full movie. The film WOULD especially artificially from the time when Amy Smart would occur in appearance. Nick Nolte could do little to get out of the played character to make more than a person who is too much in love with the sound of her own voice.

Sheri Linden praised in the magazine The Hollywood Reporter, the "strong representations " of Scott Mechlowicz and Nick Nolte.
