CRITICS OF "Mermaids"

Lawrence Journal-World

A pleasant but dull coming of age story that doesn't quite swim.

July 30, 2002

Time Out

Self-conscious, eccentric...

June 24, 2006

Resource

Common Sense Media

Moving, but teen sex content meant for discussion.

December 18, 2010

Washington Post

Having made something of a specialty of woe-is-me, adolescent angst, Ryder finds a deeper level here, a level of comedy with something genuinely painful mixed in.

January 01, 2000

Resource

Spirituality and Practice

A bright, buoyant comedy about an unusual mother-daughter relationship.

July 19, 2003

Film Threat

Three generations of greatness

May 06, 2005

Kalamazoo Gazette

a Cher fan's dream come true, a lively tale that allows her to play the kind of free-loving free spirit she used to sing about in 1970s numbers like 'Dixie Girl' ('waitin' on tables and passin' myself around' went the lyric)

Deseret News, Salt Lake City

When "Mermaids" is on the mark it's a riot - but often it bogs down with pointless set-pieces that seem to go nowhere and suffers from an ending that feels contrived and overly sentimental.

January 01, 2000

Resource

Chicago Sun-Times

I found a lot of it preposterous, but I enjoyed that quality. Why do we look at movies? To learn lessons and see life reflected back at us? Sometimes. But sometimes we simply sit there in the dark, stupefied by the spectacle.

Variety

The delightful Ryder, billing notwithstanding, is really the star.

March 26, 2009

Resource

New York Times

Miss Ryder is so good, in fact, that "Mermaids" might have dared to be a tougher, more satisfying movie than the stylish sitcom it is.

May 20, 2003

Washington Post

It's awash in mediocrity, waterlogged with innocuousness and redeemed only occasionally by sweet-faced Ryder.
