Critic Reviews for Teenage Badass

All Critics (12) | Top Critics (1) | Fresh (8) | Rotten (4)

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

Simon Abrams

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.

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

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

Shadows on the Wall
Fun, authentic band comedy has underage substance abuse.

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

Carey-Ann Pawsey
Orca Sound
A movie with heart, soul, and a little bit of rock and roll.

It manages to work out as far as delivering a solid story and being consistently funny.

We Live Entertainment
Teenage Badass will not set your world on fire, but its empathetic characters, sense of rhythm, knowledge of band jargon, and, most importantly, its music are sure to at least warm your heart.

Alex Saveliev
Film Threat
Teenage Badass gets off to a good start and has a charming first act before falling prey to outdated jokes and a meandering plot that makes it hard to care.

Cultured Vultures
Teenage Badass isn't epic, but a lot of it has a sense of veracity.

Abbie Bernstein
Assignment X
It's the kind of movie that substitutes characters being jerks to each other for actual humor.
