Barrymore is a wonder in this role.

Despite being scrubbed almost spotless, the story still makes its mark.

There's a sort of Hallmark tyranny at work.

should bring Barrymore at least the promise of more interesting scripts through the letterbox.

We've suffered through worse chick flicks throughout the years . . .
April 24, 2007
Columbia's marketing exploits the commercial title and producer James Brooks pedigree, but this humorless chick flick is one of Penny Marshall's worst films.
October 29, 2001
The rough edges of Donofrio's life are either ignored or smoothed away, replaced by broad laughs and easy sentiment.

...[Drew Barrymore's] best performance to date...
October 24, 2001
A film with honesty, sincerity and a great big heart.
October 19, 2001
The movie may be based on Beverly Donofrio's memoir of the '60s, but it misses the honesty and grit of the source.

Beverly is supposed to be a bad girl running with the wrong crowd, but most of the time she seems to be right out of a serioso episode of Laverne & Shirley.

Not a great movie, although Drew Barrymore shines.
