 While the film does have some decent character development, it never seems to grab on to any theme with anything more than a pinch. Maybe the lesson, if there is one, is that tiny things can change everything but the film is so mundane in its scenarios that all credibility is lost almost immediately.  --Anthony Miele (FilmThreat.com)
The film has a melancholy feel about it, ending on a note that is not entirely positive but that has some hope to it. Not quirky enough to be a big crowd-pleaser, and not insightful enough to be very moving, "Julie Johnson" nonetheless wins points for earnestness. B---Eric D. Snider (EricDSnider.com)
