Top Critics Reviews

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.

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,

rotten:
A shapeless rock-music caper that, like its deluded antihero, just doesn't know when to stop.

rotten:
