"A tough, hard nosed script editor might have demanded more grit in the screenplay to give the film some ballast."

Urban Cinefile

"Hogan eventually shrugs off his air of dry implacability to display the charm of his glory days and Jacobson gradually unwraps the sadness underpinning Boots's eagerness to please his father. It's a delicate manoeuvre but again Jacobson's instincts as an actor take him right to the heart of things."

Sydney Morning Herald

"In the end, Charlie & Boots is a clever road movie that proves that family-friendly is not synonymous with Disney-dumb. It might not be the most original movie, but Charlie & Boots will surely plant a smile on your face - and who can complain about that?"
