	Author	Review
United States	Rita Kempley The Washington Post	"It's a wistful fantasy, a bright reminiscence, a Stroll down memory lane that's as glowingly conceived as it is slightly flawed"	POS
United States	Dave Kehr Chicago Tribune	"Droll, pungent, and superbly told, Peggy Sue Got Married is more than a return to form for Francis Coppola. It's a film that reveals a new depth, a new sensitivity and a new sureness of technique"	POS
United States	David Ansen Newsweek	"Imagine a paint-by-numbers comic book put in the hands of a Rembrandt"	POS
Canada	The Globe and Mail	"Peggy Sue is by no means a masterpiece of movie art, but it is an example of the sort of thoroughly enjoyable middle-brow Hollywood picture that went missing about the time Peggy Sue got married"	POS
United States	Pat Graham Chicago Reader	"It's grave, lumbering, arrhythmic, and bloated, an emotional hogwallow of catchpenny insights and easy sentimentality"	NEG
United States	Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"Peggy Sue Got Married is a lot of things - a human comedy, a nostalgic memory, a love story - but there are times when it is just plain creepy, because it awakens such vivid memories in us (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Sheila Benson Los Angeles Times	"Nothing prepares you for the rush of real emotion the film generates, for its poignance, its reassurance or its high of pure pleasure."	POS
