Globe and Mail

An earnest but entertaining salute to youthful idealism and indie-rock romanticism.

Rated: 2.5/4

Toronto Star

The film is engaging and well-cast and Peter Higginson is delightfully understated as the band's aged and world-weary retainer, Monty.

Rated: 3.5/4

There is no much complexity within the characters. Each one could be defined by a single personality trait.

Rated: 2/5

I've watched cartoons show more human emotion and expression in fifteen minutes than these supposedly charming lads exude in the length of a feature film.

Very little happens, and it's crushingly inert.

The movie has a difficult time figuring out whether it is a drama, comedy, or musical but it turns into an entertaining film with lots of chemistry between the leads. The production quality is top notch and this does not look like a Canadian film. The songs are catchy but there was one musical number with nurses that didn't mesh as well as the others. I would definitely recommend this movie for some light-hearted fare.

A Britpop band from England called The Cocksure Lads, land in Toronto to kickoff their first-ever North American tour. Ten minutes after arriving, they get into a fight over royalties and break up. The Lads scatter across the city, spending the day drinking, fighting, meeting girls and falling in love. This movie is exceedingly well written and directed. There is great character and story development throughout the movie. There is a great mix of humor with cute almost love stories and it does a very good job as a guy pal movie. It was a joy to watch the story unfold and get to know the characters and watch the conflict be resolved. Toronto is spotlighted very nicely. There are many wonderful guest stars from the Canadian music scene that add substance to the film. The soundtrack is amazing and takes one right back to 60's British pop. The soundtrack is well incorporated into the film.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
