Reaction: This one barely made out with a profit, but we'll take it. We were hoping that the strength of the story would catapult this one to box office success, but the lack of well-known actors had to have hurt this one in theaters.
"Sweet Tooth is a completely fresh take on the well-worn post-apocalyptic genre. Say what you will about the film, but it is something that has never been seen on the big screen before, and that is worth applauding." - Janet Donnelly, Empire Magazine
"It's been a long time since Elijah Wood headlined a major motion picture, but he shows he still has the charm to do so in this one. While he seems too old for the role at times, he still captures the necessary naivity for the character." - Jason Helm, New York Observer
"The writing and direction are pretty much top-notch, but there are some definite performance issues from the lead actors. Elijah Wood and Rory McCann are just not up to carrying a movie of this scope. It works at times, but their performances stand out as less capable than that of their co-stars. If you can look past this, you'll still enjoy the film, but I had trouble with it." - Clark Davis, JoBlo.com
