Yardena Arar The Los Angeles Daily News: "Fine supporting performances, most notably by Hardwicke and Mazzello, contribute greatly to the film's appeal."
Douglas Gresham: "I don't think I was quite as nice as a boy. He's a great little kid. No Hollywood brat about him."
Anthony Hopkins: "(Richard Attenborough) put the little kid at ease. Then Joey started to cry on cue, and that was it for me."
Chris Hewitt St. Paul Pioneer Press: "I don't recall ever seeing Hopkins work with children, but he and Mazzello are terrific together."
