A sappy, often absurd disappointment.

Jonathan Rosenbaum Chicago Reader (Top Critic)

The undisputed king of the cornball concept, Kevin Costner has an uncanny aptitude for gravitating toward the dopiest projects in sight, but this time he's outdone himself.

Rex Reed New York Observer (Top Critic)

A numbingly pretentious project.

Boring, phony and a complete waste of talent.

What Costner and everyone else is in constant danger of is spouting some awful dialogue.

Boy, does the final reel stink.

The 'surprise' ending is as predictable as it is a long time coming.

The screenplay credited to Brandon Camp, Mike Thompson and David Seltzer starts out with energy and substance, but reverts to time-filling repetition before it reaches the last-minute climax.

It's hard to take the weepy, oozing emotions of Kevin Costner's maudlin new film Dragonfly seriously.

If you're not expecting the second coming of Alfred Hitchcock ... Dragonfly is an agreeable way to pass the time.

Costner's just a soggy slice of milquetoast here -- not bad, mind you, but not what you'd call a square meal, either.

'Dragonfly' tries to gather momentum by dipping into the box of tricks marked 'Shyamalan'.

Gad-does anybody have a really big fly swatter?

Paul Malcolm L.A. Weekly

Despite the film's aspirations to soul healing, its uplift remains mechanical, like an escalator's.

Muddled, melodramatic paranormal romance is an all-time low for Kevin Costner.

Mistakenly, all about the payoff.

Mark Palermo Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia)

The movie is incapable of generating surprise...[it's] a snore-inducing tidal wave of New Age corn.

It could have been a much meatier film in less insipid hands.

Robert Denerstein Denver Rocky Mountain News

More dull than offensive, Dragonfly keeps Costner on screen for nearly every scene, which pretty much compounds the movie's boredom quotient.

While the themes are supernatural, and there are some genuinely chilling moments. But Dragonfly works best as a romance and Costner carries the film well.

The movie's "flaws" were mitigated by the fact that Dragonfly hit me on an emotional level.

Betty Jo Tucker ReelTalk Movie Reviews

'Dragonfly' dwells on crossing-over mumbo jumbo, manipulative sentimentality, and sappy dialogue.

Easily the worst film I've seen all year.
