Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
While the movie's discussion points certainly rank on par with those political thrillers, there's not enough substance for the movie to succeed on its own merits, a point underscored by posters selling the movie on Newton's perfectly airbrushed chest.

rotten:
A polemic masquerading as a movie, Poster Boy unspools like a humorless lecture on right-wing homophobia.

rotten:
Although audiences will admire the film's do-it-yourself energy and commitment, Poster Boy finally collapses of its own contrived weight, deflating just when it should soar into madcap -- or at least thoughtful -- satire.
– Ann Hornaday,

rotten:
An overwrought story of American politics and image-making that really only gets interesting in the final act.
– Janice Page,
Boston Globe,

rotten:
Some clunky writing and a distracting subplot limit the effectiveness of this ambitious low-budget indie.
