What the film lacks in production values, it makes up in authenticity and comic moxie, using real musicians in many key roles -- and they can actually play. Oct 17, 2003 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

The movie's post-grunge Portland, Ore., quartet is almost laughably cliched -- which seems in direct opposition to the anti-authoritarian attitude of the movie. May 28, 2003 | Rating: 2/4

The music is sensational, the energy level high, and Down and Out With the Dolls is a wise and funny treat. Mar 27, 2003 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

Like a good punk tune, the filmmaker's focused energy distracts from compositional flaws. Mar 27, 2003 | Full Review…

A meritless and exasperating film experience, lacking any insight, drama or humor regarding its subject, the underground music scene. Mar 24, 2003

A lot of the acting is amateurish, and most of the plot feels like a rehash of a rehash. Mar 21, 2003 | Rating: 1/4 | Full Review…

an assuredly made, unexpectedly poignant and hilarious feel-good flick, pitched somewhere between the goofy campiness of John Waters and the good-heartedness of Cameron Crowe Sep 30, 2004 | Rating: 4/5

Taken at face-value and with no massive expectations, Dolls isn't a half-bad little indie. Aug 23, 2003 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Part Singles, part Hype! and part Josie and the Pussycats, with a healthy dose of bad camerawork, bad lighting, and extremely bad acting. Jun 22, 2003 | Rating: 37/100 | Full Review…

Most successful in rooting viewers in a convincing milieu; there's a certain attention to detail and fitful energy that leaves more of a vivid stamp in your brain than the movie as a whole probably earns. Mar 31, 2003 | Rating: C | Full Review…

With The Paper Dolls' music no longer being played, we're all much better off. Mar 22, 2003 | Rating: 2/5

It buoys you with the charm of its cast and the bred-in-the-bone local feel even as you have to squint to ignore its failings in technique and storytelling. Mar 21, 2003
