Critic Reviews of "Mermaids"
New York TimesMay 20, 2003Miss Ryder is so good, in fact, that "Mermaids" might have dared to be a tougher, more satisfying movie than the stylish sitcom it is.
Washington PostJanuary 01, 2000It's awash in mediocrity, waterlogged with innocuousness and redeemed only occasionally by sweet-faced Ryder.
Chicago Sun-TimesJanuary 01, 2000I 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.
Washington PostJanuary 01, 2000Having 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.
Common Sense MediaDecember 18, 2010Moving, but teen sex content meant for discussion.
Film ThreatMay 06, 2005Three generations of greatness
Spirituality and PracticeJuly 19, 2003A bright, buoyant comedy about an unusual mother-daughter relationship.
Lawrence Journal-WorldJuly 30, 2002A pleasant but dull coming of age story that doesn't quite swim.
Deseret News, Salt Lake CityJanuary 01, 2000When "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.
Kalamazoo GazetteJanuary 01, 2000a 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)
