ATL Ratings & Reviews
Seattle Times
Ted Fry
For a run-of-the-mill hip-hop drama, ATL has some engaging hooks that set it apart from the predictable formula of urban youth struggling to steer clear of crime and pull themselves up to a better life.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
A thoroughly convincing portrait of black teens in Atlanta, ATL has the same broad range of laughs and fears as Fast Times at Ridgemont High.
San Francisco Chronicle
Ruthe Stein
The film's special appeal is that while the boys are poor and black, their stories transcend race and socio-economic matters.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
Making his feature-film debut, music-video director Chris Robinson expertly choreographs the skating sequences, which are exhilarating fun.
New York Daily News
Jami Bernard
It feels like a real window on the lives of disenfranchised youths -- these are in South Atlanta -- as they make their way in a society that doesn't cut them any breaks.
Detroit Free Press
John Monaghan
ATL may fail to wow on the skate floor, but it still makes decent melodrama.
Dallas Morning News
Chris Vognar
ATL has more room for nuance than most films unfairly lumped under the black-movie label.
Detroit News
Tom Long
ATL starts out somewhat fresh, but then turns slowly stale as its story of African-American kids in Atlanta takes on more and more of the standard elements of growing up in the hood movies.
Houston Chronicle
Amy Biancolli
A mellow and engrossing coming-of-age film about a young crew on the south side of Atlanta.
Boxoffice Magazine
Tim Cogshell
A light urban coming-of-age dramedy where the veneer may be darkly intriguing, but the finish is pure homily, of the sort where lessons are learned and dreams do come true.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
Robinson's film is a cut above the rest, seeming simultaneously wise beyond its years and electrically, youthfully playful.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
Too predictable.
Variety
Justin Chang
Warner Bros.' low-budget stab at capturing an urban niche audience is higher on stylistic dazzle than originality or coherence, making it an unlikely candidate to bust out of the box office ghetto.
Associated Press
Christy Lemire
Really, ATL -- like last year's Roll Bounce -- is about roller skating.
The Hollywood Reporter
Kirk Honeycutt
Several good ideas for a movie rumble around inside ATL, but they never coalesce.
Boston Globe
James Parker
ATL is one of those filmic byproducts (in this case, a promotional vehicle for the rapper Tip Harris, a.k.a. T.I.) that somehow manage to emerge from the mill of commerce with their modesty preserved.
Arizona Republic
Kerry Lengel
Despite an occasional whiff of cheese, it's mostly a fresh, funny, coming-of-age story that feels authentic.
Washington Post
Teresa Wiltz
Notwithstanding the melodrama and the often ham-handed directing, ATL somehow works.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
No, ATL isn't a drug movie, and it doesn't send its characters on a harrowing journey into danger. It's a film about growing up and working, about falling in love, about planning for your future, and about the importance of friends.
New York Times
Neil Genzlinger
A couple of rap stars make respectable starts on acting careers in this tale of black teenagers in Atlanta, despite a script marred by cliches and predictability.
