Reaction: There aren't a lot of examples of successful films based on songs, and unfortunately this film will not join that list after its highly disappointing theatrical run.
"This story may have worked for a music video, or even a short film, but I'm not sure there's really enough meat on its bones to support a feature length production." - Michael Van Patten, Slant Magazine
"Sam Mendes' strong work behind the camera salvages this film. He is able to get satisfactory performances from his fairly inexperienced cast, managing to paint them all in sympathetic light." - Allen Poole, AV Club
"The bare bones of the story are good, but the problem is that there are only those bare bones. Most of the scenes revolve around Ben Hardy talking about Eminem and acting crazy. It's just not enough of a story." - Stephen Anderson, Entertainment Weekly
