Kieron Corless Sight & Sound 12/02/2002
On the whole Janice herself is an endearing, eccentric creation but the film lacks the sharpness that might capture the public's imagination as Billy Liar did back in the early 60s. Go to Full Review Andrew Sarris Observer 05/17/2002
All ends well, sort of, but the frenzied comic moments never click. Go to Full Review Stephen Holden New York Times 05/11/2002
3.5/5
As Janice, Eileen Walsh, an engaging, wide-eyed actress whose teeth are a little too big for her mouth, infuses the movie with much of its slender, glinting charm. Go to Full Review Antonia Quirke Independent on Sunday 11/28/2017
With its primary colour-scheme, and cast playing people with half their IQs, the film is a zestless. Go to Full Review Apollo Guide 05/13/2005
