- 50Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasLos Angeles TimesKevin ThomasAlba gives such a focused, interior portrayal that she just might have managed to carry the movie had it been better.
- 38New York PostLou LumenickNew York PostLou LumenickA good cast equipped with cute names is forced to muddle through terminal whimsy in this less-than-magical adaptation of Aimee Bender's adult fairy tale, sluggishly directed by Marilyn Agrelo, who more successfully helmed the delightful documentary "Mad Hot Ballroom."
- 30Village VoiceNick SchagerVillage VoiceNick SchagerJessica Alba gets plain-Jane crazy for An Invisible Sign, a syrupy "A Beautiful Mind" redux in which the starlet sports big brown bangs and Pippi Longstocking pigtails.
- 20Time OutEric HynesTime OutEric HynesExcept for two brief summits between Alba and Messina's pillowy lips, however, An Invisible Sign fails even to pander effectively.
- 20New York Daily NewsJoe NeumaierNew York Daily NewsJoe NeumaierAlba certainly tries her best at portraying not just a beauty but also a beautiful mind, yet very few things add up despite director Marilyn Agrelo's efforts.
- 20The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisThe New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisCuter than a basket of puppies licking a litter of kittens, An Invisible Sign is an excruciatingly whimsical collision of adult themes and kid-friendly aesthetic.
