Critics Consensus

While it may be light on its feet and charming to a fault, A Week Away won't linger in audience's minds for much long after.

Nothing much that's fresh to see or hear here, a near miss. But that doesn't mean the intent isn't smart.

Rated: 2/4

It's hammy, it's predictable, it's a little silly, but what YA musical isn't?

Rated: C

New York Times

This is a film as tidy, transparent and kid-friendly as a square of Jell-O salad, and so squishily eager-to-please that it doesn't engage with its religious themes so much as tuck them into song lyrics to hover in the narrative like grapes.

Rated: C-

Film Focus Online

A Week Away may not be as memorable as the teen musicals that came out of the Disney era due to its pretty niche religious undertone that may not be digestible by all, as well as its corny romances and predictable character disagreements.

Rated: 2/5

But Why Tho? A Geek Community

A Week Away is an enjoyable film that didn’t find a way to incorporate a balanced tone to make the premise stand out more. Combining elements from Christian beliefs with the campiness from films like High School Musical is what makes the premise unique

While director Roman White's film, scripted by Kali Bailey and Alan Powell, doesn't get any points for originality, its portrayal of young people trying to find their way in the world with the guidance of caring grown-ups will resonate with its target...

This film reminded me of 'that connectivity' the film itself mentions. It doesn't take itself seriously whilst allowing for a theist worldview to be be considered rightfully agreeable. An endearing spectrum of experiences are captured by the events and the cast performances are simply exceptional, with both touching and lol moments. My whole family has been randomly singing "my GOD is an awesome God" non stop since watching so has had a memorable impact. This film is easy and fulfilling fun, fresh for being un-burdened by having to explain postmodern cynicism and a joy to watch.

I would definitely recommend this movie to Christians out there, it's fun, it's family friendly, there is no cursing, it's perfect if you want a clam Musical, it's music is really good and perfect in my opinion. I wish this had the same rotten tomatoes as Puss In Boots: The Last Wish, it's beautiful, it stars Kevin Quinn from Bunk'd in it and Baliee Madison in it. If you have the time, please give it a Chance!

Ok.. this movie is a favorite for me and my friends for sure! The songs are amazing and the casting was so on point! The songs made me smile and I danced around. I don't think me and my mom stopped smiling the entire movie. I've probably watched it close to a dozen times. And want to watch it again. The whole thing about Christianity is just amazing, and it's sad they don't make light hearted movies like this anymore, a perfect movie night for you and your tween.
