"Beware the Gonzo" isn't bad, it's just that for a film aiming to celebrate media rebellion it feels timid and unadventurous.

Rated: 2.5/5

"Beware the Gonzo" is a thoroughly amateurish effort at capturing clued-in and smartass teens.

Rated: 0.5/4

New York Times

With its stacked moral deck, student stereotypes and false, halfhearted ending, "Beware the Gonzo" is really formula straining at the seams to be more.

Rated: 3/5

While it covers familiar ground, it does so with a light touch.

Everything Ezra takes into the screen, he leaves making a big impression, making you believe it's real. This started out shallow but ended in a very good note. Love it!

I found this movie very enjoyable, clever, and well done...even though I seem to be in the minority. I think that Ezra Miller is a very fine young actor, and I absolutely love the quirky roles that he takes on. This one included...

I did not enjoy this movie as much as I thought I would from the trailer. Parents should know that is a lot of swearing and other comments parents may want to look out for.
