Critics' reviews
- "It would be a shame if only kids went to see this film. Adults who can still plug in to their inner rocker, if only to play air guitar, will love it, too."
- "A pleasing mainstream comedy that uses new people and attitudes to entertain in old-fashioned ways."
- "A very funny for-kids-of-all-ages delight that should catapult Mr. Black straight to the top of the A-list of Hollywood funnymen."
