Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
"London Town," to borrow from a certain foursome, isn't "burning with boredom," but neither is it exactly "calling."
– Robert Abele,
Los Angeles Times,

rotten:
The era's skinhead riots and striking workers - and Strummer's biting, pro-immigrant lyrics - are never more than window dressing in a movie that would rather scatter fairy dust than grit.
– Jeannette Catsoulis,
New York Times,

rotten:
The raw vigor and protest of punk get co-opted by the movie's coming-of-age story; it's not the heartfelt sweetness that's the chief problem, but how run-of-the-mill and derivative the plot is.
– Sheri Linden,

rotten:
The movie's impersonal, conventional telling of a reasonably standard male coming-of-age story almost tends to make the punk milieu it depicts beside the point.
– Glenn Kenny,

fresh:
As contrived as "London Town" is - with a derivative coming-of-age story and improbable, fateful encounters between a struggling teen and Clash frontman Joe Strummer - there is something here of the group's early, principled spirit.
