John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter 01/17/2014
True second-chance story doesn't come to life onscreen. Go to Full Review Christy Lemire RogerEbert.com 01/17/2014
1.5/4
A film with a message of inspiration, to be sure, but not much in terms of innovation. Go to Full Review David Hiltbrand Philadelphia Inquirer 01/17/2014
2.5/4
For such a seriously street film, Jamesy Boy has some surprisingly sappy moments. But the redemptive ending, while thin, is genuinely gratifying. Go to Full Review Dustin Putman TheFilmFile.com 02/18/2014
2.5/4
Tackled with a sense of thoughtfulness and compassion that makes the would-be garden-variety narrative worthwhile. Go to Full Review Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue 01/31/2014
The protagonist seems more sociopathic than sympathetic, and the film takes such a distorted view of the responsibility of role models and artistic expression in shaping troubled youth. Go to Full Review Mike D'Angelo The Dissolve 01/24/2014
2.5/5
It's ultimately little more than the story of a hot-tempered young man who made a lot of bad choices, didn't like where they got him, and finally started making some better ones. While that's admirable, it isn't inherently compelling. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
