Critics' reviews

"'Love Field' is earnest, compassionate, smoothly directed, and something of a crock."

Owen Gleiberman: Entertainment Weekly
"Maybe I'm wrong, but I think this basic situation would have worked better as a simple human story, instead of being tricked up with so many Hollywood formulas and gimmicks. (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"

Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times
