Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
While Barnes and Sheehan are persuasive as the squabbling siblings, the music-biz mockery is blunt and obvious.
– Mark Jenkins,
NPR,

fresh:
A charming admixture of "Goodfellas" and "Almost Famous," "Killing Bono" is a fanciful rock tale that is nevertheless based on a true story.
– Kyle Smith,
New York Post,
4 Nov 2011
rotten:
A shapeless rock-music caper that, like its deluded antihero, just doesn't know when to stop.
– Jeannette Catsoulis,
New York Times,

fresh:
Hamm's movie is sparky and fun, and full of affectionate pokes at the '80s music scene. It's also, in terms of music biopics, probably better than the real thing.
– Joe Neumaier,
New York Daily News,
3 Nov 2011
rotten:
There's a difference between "funny" and "comedy," and the movie adaptation of Killing Bono tries way too hard to be nutty, at the expense of just getting across what McCormick knows.
