...[Drew Barrymore's] best performance to date...
December 28, 2010
Not a great movie, although Drew Barrymore shines.

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.

A film with honesty, sincerity and a great big heart.

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 21, 2002
Barrymore is a wonder in this role.

The movie may be based on Beverly Donofrio's memoir of the '60s, but it misses the honesty and grit of the source.

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