Return to sender. Except for David Duchovny.
Top CriticSo innocent, so naive, so sweet and sincere, that you must leave your cynicism at the door or choose another movie.
This film is energized by excellent performances.
The movie suffers from a surfeit of affection.
Ultimately too bland and safe.
An unbelievable premise, but sweet and romantic.
Touches the audience's heart without being sappy.
Contrivances abound, no doubt, but the picture refuses any disingenuous pollutant access to the mix, instead leading with heartfelt, lived-in emotions, enjoying a deliciously homey mood of friendly flirtation and old-world wisdom.
It works, despite the far-fetched plot, because the characters and the script are fresh and engaging.
Driver and Duchovny shine in romance with heart.
