There's enough affection and charm in the movie's first half to keep Teenage Badass running on fumes most of the way home.

Rated: 2.5/4

Substream Magazine

The movie has a certain enduring quality in showing the rise of an up-and-coming band, but then quickly falls into patterns of plot choices that we've seen many times before.

Eye for Film

The result is something akin to an amiable three minute pop song whose tune you'll have forgotten three minutes later.

Rated: 2.5/5

Shadows on the Wall

While an awkwardly shifting tone undermines the story, there's a certain goofy charm that makes it fun to watch.

It will remind you of something like Spinal Tap. Full of quirks and silliness. Totally a trip guided by nostalgia.
