Bruce Newman, San Jose Mercury News: Calls to mind the great screen pairings of dysfunctional buddy pictures of the past. Read more
Ty Burr, Boston Globe: Touches smartly and wistfully on a number of themes, not least the notion that the marginal members of society ... might benefit from a helping hand and a friendly kick in the pants. Read more
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press: It's thoroughly entertaining and nonpatronizing, and occasionally even insightful. Read more
Stephen Holden, New York Times: Believes so fervently in humanity that it feels almost anachronistic, and it is too cute by half. But arriving at a particularly dark moment in history, it offers flickering reminders of the ties that bind us. Read more
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times: A witty and sophisticated sensibility brings individuality to the classic odd-couple comedy. Read more
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly: Charms because of its natural, non-magical attitude toward humanity. Read more
Philip Wuntch, Dallas Morning News: It's affectionate and optimistic without being fuzzy. Read more
Hazel-Dawn Dumpert, L.A. Weekly: Heartwarming here relies less on forced air than on Petter Naess' delicate, clever direction ... and a wonderful, imaginative script by Axel Hellstenius. Read more
Andrew Sarris, New York Observer: A singularly affecting and amusing fable. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: It is refreshingly undogmatic about its characters. Read more

Ann Hornaday, Washington Post: Elling, portrayed with quiet fastidiousness by Per Christian Ellefsen, is a truly singular character, one whose frailties are only slightly magnified versions of the ones that vex nearly everyone. Read more
Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post: A charming but slight comedy. Read more
