The heart of On Broadway is in the right place. But when the story behind a film is more interesting than what's on the screen, that's a problem.

offers some truly sweet parts that feel like a return to the indies of the early '90s, when regional cinema still felt fresh and full of purpose.

On Broadway is a warm and affectionate film with a big heart. The bright sparks were Eliza Dushku, Will Arnett, Amy Poehler, and Lucas Caleb Rooney.
