It's not a great film, but we sure enjoyed it more than many bigger films that try harder to convince us they're great.

3.5/5

A winning amalgam of MySpace-ish self-involvement, digital video immediacy and 'Hey kids, let's put on a show' gumption.

H.P. Mendoza's clever melodies and pointedly constructed rhymes rescue the movie from the detriments of its tired plot and unfocused pace.

8.5/10

The songs are the real highlight and it is full of bop after bop.

. . . Colma: The Musical is sweet, odd and utterly charming.

5/5

Colma is so blazingly original that it bursts off the screen with the sort of breathtaking energy that reminds you why you love movies in the first place.

Infectious low-budget original musical.

An independent film, that feels like a student film because of the young actors, and the sound & camera quality, but it's still fun, in its angsty coming of age way.

Some fairly stilted acting, especially from the two male leads, make this effort less likeable than it thinks it is.

This movie is pretty cute. It doesn't have as catchy and memorable songs as "Fruit Fly" but it's still a funny musical that deserves more recognition!

Well, I applaud their efforts at this musical film. The songs were good, the story was good, the acting was awful! I understand that this is an independent film though, so again, I applaud the outcome. This is also probably the most true to life movie/musical I have ever seen. The language, the situation, the friends... it was all very relatable to real life.
