1.5/4  "Most of the dialogue made me want to pack raw dough in my ears."
-- Jeffrey M. Anderson, SAN FRANCISCO EXAMINER

2.5/4  "Bread, My Sweet has so many flaws it would be easy for critics to shred it. It may even fall into the category of Films You Love to Hate. I admit it, I hate to like it."
-- Marta Barber, MIAMI HERALD

3.5/5  "This charming little romantic comedy rose to the occasion, surprising me with a freshness and spice that I wasn't expecting."
-- Jeffrey Bruner, DES MOINES REGISTER

2.5/4  "The movie's relatively simple plot and uncomplicated morality play well with the affable cast."
-- Nick Carter, MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL

4/5  "Wonderfully charming romantic drama, with an excellent performance by (of all people!) Scott Baio."
-- Phil Hall, FILM THREAT

  "The plot is straight off the shelf, the performances are television- caliber and the message of providing solace through deception is a little creepy."
-- Marc Mohan, OREGONIAN

1/4  "Bella is the picture of health with boundless energy until a few days before she dies. This is absolutely and completely ridiculous and an insult to every family whose mother has suffered through the horrible pains of a death by cancer."
-- Steve Rhodes, STEVE RHODES' INTERNET REVIEWS

'3/4'  "It may scream low budget, but this charmer has a spirit that cannot be denied."
-- Jeanne Aufmuth, PALO ALTO WEEKLY

4.5/5  "With so many bad romances out there, this is the kind of movie that deserves a chance to shine."
-- Doug Brunell, FILM THREAT

3/4  "Executed with such gentle but insistent sincerity, with such good humor and appreciation of the daily grind that only the most hardhearted Scrooge could fail to respond."
-- Robert W. Butler, KANSAS CITY STAR

3/5  "Me no lika da accents so good, but I thoroughly enjoyed the love story. Scott Baio is turning in some delightful work on indie projects."
-- Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone, THEMOVIECHICKS.COM

2.5/4  "Awkward but sincere and, ultimately, it wins you over."
-- Chris Hewitt, ST. PAUL PIONEER PRESS

2.5/4  "Despite modest aspirations its occasional charms are not to be dismissed."
-- Jon Niccum, LAWRENCE JOURNAL-WORLD

Cream of the Crop

3/4  "Comfort food, pure and simple, and it's performed with conviction by a cast that finds the honest decency beneath the stereotypes."
-- Ty Burr, BOSTON GLOBE

3/4  "A touching, sophisticated film that almost seems like a documentary in the way it captures an Italian immigrant family on the brink of major changes."
-- Jonathan Curiel, SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE

3/4  "What makes the movie special is its utter sincerity."
-- Roger Ebert, CHICAGO SUN-TIMES

  "Forgettable, if good-hearted, movie."
-- Ann Hornaday, WASHINGTON POST

  "Enriched by a strong and unforced supporting cast."
-- Michael O'Sullivan, WASHINGTON POST

  "The problem with The Bread, My Sweet is that it's far too sentimental."
-- Richard Roeper, EBERT & ROEPER

3/4  "Deep intelligence and a warm, enveloping affection breathe out of every frame."
-- Michael Wilmington, CHICAGO TRIBUNE
