Manohla Dargis of The New York Times said the film "looks squeaky clean and utterly straight and very much removed from the shadow worlds in which Ms.Swank has done her best work. Yet as directed by Richard LaGravenese ... it has a curious morbid quality... [It] won't win any awards; it isn't the sort of work that flatters a critic's taste. It's preposterous in big and small matters... and there are several cringe-worthy set pieces, some involving Mr.Butler and a guitar. The film is not a beautiful object or a memorable cultural one, and yet it charms, however awkwardly. Ms.Swank's ardent sincerity and naked emotionalism dovetail nicely with Mr.LaGravenese's melodramatic excesses." [13] Irish reviewers were particularly critical of Butler's Irish accent. [17] [18] Butler later jokingly apologized for his poor effort at an Irish accent.
