Reaction: Surprisingly good numbers overseas. I have to imagine Keanu Reeves' name on the poster helped with that. Our only other musical, American Psycho the Musical, lost money, so we're quite happy here.



"Not everything the filmmakers tried to do here works, and the result is a bit all over the place, but it is still a lot of fun." - Mark Gilbert, Boston Globe

"Keanu Reeves is easily the highlight of the whole film. His much-maligned voice is put to excellent - and hilarious - use here." - Charles Yost, Oregonian


"Be More Chill is one of those films that feel quirky simply for the sake of feeling quirky. It's like if you gave Diablo Cody final cut and a case of limited edition Mt. Dew." - Lisa Winger, Newsday
