It's not a great film, but we sure enjoyed it more than many bigger films that try harder to convince us they're great.

Suburban teenage frustration: Didn't it always go down best with a salty side of Journey? Or the Smiths?

Joshua Rothkopf, Time Out

A little rough around the edges, this likable movie is filled with adolescent angst, youthful energy and hope.

The songs sound like they were recorded on a toy synthesizer in someone's basement, and neither of the two male leads can sing.

An itty-bitty movie with a great big heart, Colma: The Musical is about how we learn to give voice -- joyfully, honestly, loudly -- to the truest parts of ourselves.

Manohla Dargis, New York Times
