RTSeattle TimesSep 21, 2007

An irresistible Japanese import, Hula Girls is a crowd-pleaser so comfortable with its own clich (C)s that it goes down smoother than a mai tai on Maui.

V.A. Musetto

RTNew York PostJul 13, 2007

Director Lee Sang-il employs every possible clich as he shamelessly tries to manipulate viewers' emotions.

J. R. Jones

RTChicago ReaderJul 13, 2007

The dance floor is soon covered with syrupy melodrama.

Francesca Rudkin

RTNew Zealand HeraldApr 4, 2011

Lee has created a film that is endearing, heartfelt and at times very funny.
