Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 1.5/4 --
Good cause, bad movie.
Salt Lake Tribune
Rating: 2/4 --
Kramer may have felt that American audiences would have wanted to follow an American heroine, but it's Lin's story that resonates.
Capital Times (Madison, WI)
Rating: 3/4 --
This movie's so filled with admirable intentions that they practically spill onto the screen before it starts.

Rating: 1/5 --
Smile is like a dose of cod liver oil: It may be good for you, but it's no fun.

Overall, it's pretty elementary stuff, along the lines of a Disney Channel TV movie.

There's little doubt that a nonfiction film would have been more powerful than this strained drama, which offers a Malibu brat as the audience's point of identification.

Rating: 2.5/4 --
Sure, it's mushy, but you can't make a movie called Smile and not be at least a wee bit saccharine about your intentions.
