Smile feels like one man's answer to movies increasingly overloaded with sex and violence.Full Review

Peter Debruge
Miami Herald

Causes don't get much worthier, and Smile is a labor of love, a portion of the film's proceeds earmarked for the humanitarian group.Full Review

Sheri Linden
The Hollywood Reporter

Well-meaning but dramatically lopsided tearjerker bogs down in generic teen angst and domestic squabbling.Full Review

Justin Chang
Variety

If the dialectics here are strictly Hallmark, the film is lifted by some nice location work - all of the Chinese scenes are shot around Shanghai - and deepened somewhat by the bleak depiction of the emotional lives of Katie, her family and her friends.Full Review

Jon Strickland
L.A. Weekly

Overall, it's pretty elementary stuff, along the lines of a Disney Channel TV movie. It's uplifting, and it's in a good cause.Full Review
