Reviews for Charly
A competent but self-righteous film that offers little insight into love or faith.
If religious films aren't your bailiwick, stay away. Otherwise, this could be a passable date film.
The film is old-fashioned, occasionally charming and as subtle as boldface.
The movie is too amateurishly square to make the most of its own ironic implications.
Beers, who, when she's given the right lines, can charm the paint off the wall ... [but] the script goes wrong at several key junctures.
'Charly' will divide its audience in two separate groups, those reaching for more tissues and those begging for mercy...
Charly comes off as emotionally manipulative and sadly imitative of innumerable past Love Story derisions.
Imagine the CleanFlicks version of 'Love Story,' with Ali MacGraw's profanities replaced by romance-novel platitudes.
The romance between the leads isn't as compelling or as believable as it should be.
