Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Too predictable.
– Richard Roeper,
Ebert & Roeper,
3 Apr 2006
fresh:
It's something akin to the earlier films of Spike Lee -- She's Gotta Have It and Crooklyn come to mind -- in that the characters are cherished for their human qualities, not for how well they swagger onto the screen.
– Peter Howell,

rotten:
Warner Bros.' low-budget stab at capturing an urban niche audience is higher on stylistic dazzle than originality or coherence, making it an unlikely candidate to bust out of the box office ghetto.
– Justin Chang,
Variety,
31 Mar 2006
fresh:
For a run-of-the-mill hip-hop drama, ATL has some engaging hooks that set it apart from the predictable formula of urban youth struggling to steer clear of crime and pull themselves up to a better life.
– Ted Fry,
Seattle Times,
31 Mar 2006
fresh:
The film's special appeal is that while the boys are poor and black, their stories transcend race and socio-economic matters.
