An undemandingly pleasant coming-of-age dramedy.

Reasonably affecting despite uneven performances and a certain overfondness for familiar stock characters.

The story is thin. The characters are slight. And pretty as the scenery is, well, summer vacation's over.

An often charming romantic drama that outstays its welcome at nearly two hours.

That's harmless enough in this type of warm-weather reminiscence, until Mr. Sorvino, a real actor and a good one, shows up...and he makes Ms. Shaw and some of the other cast members look like amateurs.

This is a two-hankie weeper that doesn't really earn its tears. But it's a sweet little movie nonetheless.

Despite its predictable story, "Greetings" does not wear out its welcome thanks to the casting of the radiant beauty, Kim Shaw.
