	Author	Review
United States	Emanuel Levy Variety	"Pic benefits from a contempo texture and from pleasant performances by its central trio. Of the current cycle of romantic comedies (...) 'Keeping the Faith' is arguably the most accomplished"	POS
United States	Elvis Mitchell The New York Times	"It is competent, but it seems driven to clear up complications as quickly as acne is dispatched in an infomercial."	NEU
United Kingdom	Ian Freer Empire	"There's something delightfully old school about 'Keeping The Faith' (...) Funny, attractively relaxed and blessed with a wistful geniality (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Keith Phipps AV Club	"Norton the director's debut is the sort of film Norton the actor wouldn't touch. It's a shame they don't have more in common."	NEG
United States	Paul Clinton CNN	"An amusing distraction with clever writing and performances. If you're looking for escapist entertainment with no intellectual strings attached, this could be it."	POS
United Kingdom	Time Out	"Nearly as wholesome as a '50s Universal bedroom farce, but lacking the confidence and zest"	NEU
