Guidance Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
A wicked comedy.
Austin American-Statesman
Matt Shiverdecker
Guidance manages to be ridiculous and oddly charming.
Los Angeles Times
Gary Goldstein
It's a creative hat trick of wildly amusing proportions.
Seattle Times
Tom Keogh
This is a writer-director to watch.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
Pursuing his character's self-destructive, often tasteless agenda, Mr. Mills (drawing on his own experiences and doing triple duty as the director and screenwriter) gives a performance of rancid single-mindedness.
Seattle Weekly
Brian Miller
Though it belongs to the same genre, Guidance is nowhere near so good as Young Adult (or even the Jump Street movies, come to think of it).
Village Voice
Abby Garnett
Deranged, often very funny ...
The Hollywood Reporter
John DeFore
An enjoyable entry into the swelling ranks of corrupt-the-youth comedies.
Variety
Dennis Harvey
This comedy about a former TV child star turned train wreck who decides to take a high-school guidance counselor job -- or rather, pose as someone appropriate for that position -- is consistently amusing and surprisingly uncynical in the end.
Slant Magazine
Diego Semerene
The unapologetic lack of political correctness never goes beyond a one-dimensional and tentative provocation.
