Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
The music rocks, but little else does, in Randall Miller's sitcom snapshot of New York's iconic punk incubator.

fresh:
Alan Rickman's lead performance highlights a sincere but insubstantial rock pic.

rotten:
"CBGB" ain't no party, it ain't no disco, it ain't no foolin' around.

rotten:
If you really want to remember those times? Get out "Horses." Or "Talking Heads: 77." Or "Blank Generation." Preferably on vinyl, with all the pops and scratches. And play them. Loud.

rotten:
I would swear on a stack of Dead Boys T-shirts and a first pressing of Richard Hell and the Voidoids' "Blank Generation" that it could not possibly have been like that: so silly, so trivial, so boring.
