Richard Corliss, TIME Magazine: If the film is to work at all - and it eventually does - the two 27-year-old leads must radiate enough star quality to obviate the ramshackle plot. They just about do. Read more

A.O. Scott, New York Times: "Tonight You're Mine" is as ephemeral as its title - as thin as a jukebox dime but pretty catchy all the same. Read more

Alison Willmore, AV Club: Treadaway and Tena are meant to have a deep connection based on their love of music, but their barely there characters get together only because the story requires them to. Read more

Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times: If only the falling-in-love machinations and character details weren't so wispy, "Tonight You're Mine" might have had more resonance. Read more

Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News: Mackenzie is so taken with his concept that he forgets to build a fully realized film around it. Read more

Sara Stewart, New York Post: It's a nice, mud-free way to spend a bit of time rocking out in the rain with the Scots. Read more

Amy Biancolli, San Francisco Chronicle: The script is as bland as they come. Read more

Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune: While the story is pure contrivance -- two antagonistic performers get handcuffed together, fighting until they fall in love -- the soundtrack is lively and the characters grow on you. Read more

Tom Huddleston, Time Out: Occasionally amusing but too often aggravating: pretty people in ugly places listening to crap pop and looking pleased with themselves. Read more

Joshua Rothkopf, Time Out: Boggle at finding strangers in the audience more appealing than our main characters. Read more

Leslie Felperin, Variety: With its breezy atmosphere and killer soundtrack, this hipster romantic comedy should prove a crowdpleaser. Read more

Karina Longworth, Village Voice: The aggressive hipness of the film is queasily dated-it's the cinematic equivalent of the clearance corner at Urban Outfitters. Read more
