Lynne Renew and David Parker's script is based on a wonderful premise, but the resulting film is uneven, straddling adult drama and family-friendly tear-jerker without doing either well. Aug 20, 2010 | Full Review…

Matching Jack's conclusion is a hopeful one (some may say thankfully) but it's much too tidy and rushed, a pure cookie-cutter Hollywood happy ending that betrays the realistic, at times poignant portrayal of childhood terminal illness that came before it. Aug 17, 2010 | Full Review…

While its premise is a painful one, this warm, surprisingly funny and deeply touching film never feels maudlin. Aug 16, 2010

This is the first feature Nadia Tass has directed since Amy in 1998, and she brings great sensitivity to a moving story. Aug 11, 2010 | Rating: 4/5
