Nathan Rabin
It wants audiences to know it's in on the joke though it's not always apparent that there even is a joke in the first place.
William Goss
Progress acknowledges clichés but has little interest in actually subverting them, instead growing more predictable and sentimental as it goes along.
Stephen Whitty
It never gives us a character we truly care about, or a consistent reason for watching.
Claudia Puig
Girl in Progress seems like a work in progress.
Lou Lumenick
The direction ... doesn't do justice to the fairly novel concept of a young woman consciously constructing her own coming-of-age scenario.
Rafer Guzman
A comedy-drama that veers between silly and serious but can't reconcile the opposing tones.
