Rating: 2.5/4 --
Nostalgia is used as a distancing device -- to keep us safely insulated from the boy's immediate grief, love, and passion.

Chicago Sun-Times
The interaction between Grimes and his teenage co-stars - the sharp, crude Houser and the more innocent Conant - is engaging, and the spare, uncluttered soundtrack is recompense for Mulligan's overblown visuals.

"Summer of '42" is a memory movie, written, directed and acted with such uncommon good humor that I don't think you'll be put off by its sweet soft-focus, at least until you start analyzing it afterwards.

Rating: 3/5 --
In the early hijinks phase, the film seems like a dry run for Porky's, but it later gets into the business of fluttering curtains, walks on sandy beaches and longing glances.

Dates very badly indeed
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Visually lyrical film romance also has problems with dubious views on teen sexuality.
