( Showing 1-9 of 9 Tomatometer Reviews, sorted a-z )   "The film is old-fashioned, occasionally charming and as subtle as boldface." -- Joe Baltake, SACRAMENTO BEE   "Imagine the CleanFlicks version of 'Love Story,' with Ali MacGraw's profanities replaced by romance-novel platitudes." -- Sean Means, SALT LAKE TRIBUNE   "It is a likable story, told with competence." -- Eric D. Snider, ERICDSNIDER.COM Soundtrack Books All Related Items   "'Charly' will divide its audience in two separate groups, those reaching for more tissues and those begging for mercy..." -- Bruce Bennett, SPECTRUM (ST. GEORGE, UTAH)   "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." -- Steve Rhodes, STEVE RHODES' INTERNET REVIEWS   "The romance between the leads isn't as compelling or as believable as it should be." -- Jeff Vice, DESERET NEWS, SALT LAKE CITY   "The movie is too amateurishly square to make the most of its own ironic implications." -- David Chute, L.A. WEEKLY   "Charly comes off as emotionally manipulative and sadly imitative of innumerable past Love Story derisions." -- Audrey Rock-Richardson, TOOELE TRANSCRIPT-BULLETIN (UTAH)   "If religious films aren't your bailiwick, stay away. Otherwise, this could be a passable date film." -- Phil Villarreal, ARIZONA DAILY STAR
