3/5
 
"Something old, something borrowed... but still an assured, perfectly decent popcorn pleaser that sees the limber, likeable Heigl consolidate her Knocked Up lustre. Add sparky his/her chemistry and you’ve got a well-turned-out chick flick." -- Total Film

"Despite boasting cinematic pedigree on-screen and off, Closing The Ring is amateur and predictable – from Peter ‘son of Edward’ Woodward’s clunky soap opera screenplay to unimaginative lensing and ropey SFX." -- Total Film

"A patchy but silly caper that will be dead funny (sorry) for anyone who’s recently wrestled with family hysteria. Perfect pre-Christmas fare then." -- Total Film

"With Shine’s Scott Hicks at the helm, this is a well-presented dish, but too cloying for discerning palates." -- Total Film

"Vacancy’s an audience divider – a predictable yet occasionally classy film. Depending on your mood it’s an efficient exercise in popcorn frights, or a cynical B-movie..." -- Total Film

"A deserved hit at Sundance, Guide plays like Stand By Me crossed with Kids. It’s as promising, beautiful and gritty as its onscreen ‘saints’." -- Total Film

"Enchanting, if disconcerting, feel-good fare loaded with predictable, wholesome messages but crammed with enough Christmas wonderment to off-set the saccharine." -- ViewLondon

"Opening with some contrived banter, cliches and some loose ends, the screenplay only comes into its own in the second half." -- BBC
