Critic Reviews

Starts out on an exhilarating high but gradually loses steam, Janice Beard 45 WPM tries hard to overcome its inconsistency with relentless whimsy.Full Review

David Rooney
Variety

Slight but charming comedy.Full Review

Paul Malcolm
L.A. Weekly

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.Full Review

Stephen Holden
The New York Times

Wacky chaos ensues, as the film veers toward a subplot about industrial espionage, but director Clare Kilner's debut is never as daft as it should have been.Full Review

Robert Wilonsky
New Times (L.A.)

Playful and sentimental, with comic-book characterization and a half-orphaned, filially righteous head case, Janice Beard resembles a British "Amélie."Full Review
