Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Mr. Hanks's debut feature, written and directed with delightful good cheer, is rock-and-roll nostalgia presented as pure fizz.
– Janet Maslin,
New York Times,
20 May 2003
fresh:
Sweet nothing, then, but what would you expect of a rock movie devoted to the drummer?
– Geoff Andrew,
Time Out,
24 Jun 2006
fresh:
A sweet, likeable tale of the quick rise to fame and then demise of a small town band. Set in 1964, Hanks' film offers a sanitized, Gump-ish look at a mythical period when boys were boys and girls were girls, with no references to the sex-drug subculture
– Emanuel Levy,

fresh:
First-time writer/director Tom Hanks stays about a half-beat ahead of the cliches with rim shots of boyish enthusiasm and deft comedy. The movie's also buoyed by the title song, whose Beatles sound is infectious enough to merit a real hit.
– Desson Thomson,
Washington Post,
17 Dec 2007
fresh:
Though Hanks keeps the satirical and critical aspects of this look at show biz fairly light, there's a lot of conviction and savvy behind the steadiness of his gaze.
