Reception

[edit]

The film has an 83 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on six reviews.[2]

Brad Wheeler of The Globe and Mail gave the film a positive review and wrote, "the likable indie flick will connect with both hip cynics and those with rosier hopes."[3]

Bruce DeMara of the Toronto Star awarded the film two and a half stars out of four and wrote, "Still, there’s just enough kooky appeal and wit to make Pretend We’re Kissing a romantic comedy that’s also a cautionary tale."[4]

Barry Hertz of the National Post also gave the film a positive review and wrote, "Whatever your thoughts on the film’s central up-and-down relationship, though, you can’t help but fall in love with the way Sadowski frames the scenery."[5]

The film received a Canadian Comedy Award nomination for Best Film at the 16th Canadian Comedy Awards.[6]
