“..once it's reduced to a two-hander for Nivola and Breslin, Janie Jones has a lightweight sweetness, owing largely to their chemistry..”
by Ian Buckwalter [NPR]
“..despite its panoply of cliches, Janie Jones does admittedly work up some goodwill once you accept it on its almost defiantly generic, low-stakes terms..”
by Kenji Fujishima [Slant Magazine]
“.."Janie Jones" is billed as "inspired by the true story" of its writer-director, David M. Rosenthal. Impossible. No one's life is this boring..”
