Harry Chapin: When in Doubt, Do Something Ratings & Reviews
Variety
Owen Gleiberman
"Cat's in the Cradle" is built around an incredibly subtle and powerful psychological insight: that what we pass on to our children, the good and the bad and everything in between, happens in a karmic way. We don't control it.
OurQuadCities / WHBF-TV (Illinois)
Linda Cook
The film, which will appeal to both fans and those unfamiliar with Harry Chapin, shows the activist side of a talented, compassionate man.
POV Magazine
Pat Mullen
The film, safe and celebratory, feels like a joint exercise in public relations.
HollywoodChicago.com
Patrick McDonald
Portrays Harry Chapin's John-Brown-like fervor to eradicate world hunger, and fills in this long past era of the music and this mythic gone-too-soon troubadour. Awe inspiring!
Film Inquiry
Tynan Yanaga
While many (including myself) would probably have appreciated a more robust exploration of his musical career, there's also a deeply human message embedded at the core of this documentary.
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
A portrait of the singer/songwriter whose story songs and humanitarian activism prove to be equally inspiring.
Austin Chronicle
Raoul Hernandez
Today, the Harry Chapin Food Bank endures, as does what Harry Chapin: When In Doubt, Do Something identifies as "Cat's In the Cradling" someone: guilting them into here-and-now action.

The singular thing about Harry Chapin is not that he promoted causes in and through his musical performances but that he managed to do so in a way that endeared rather than alienated him from most listeners.
Cambridge Day
Tom Meek
A heartfelt documentary about the life and times of the singer-songwriter who rose to fame on the indelible ballad "Cat's in the Cradle."
Rob's Movie Vault
Rob Gonsalves
By hanging his film on the structure of Chapin's awakening as a man who agitated endlessly for change, director Rick Korn avoids the trap of the conventional rockumentary.

A full bodied look. at the life and times of Harry Chapin. However it could have done more wth the presentation of his music.
Film Threat
Sabina Dana Plasse
Harry Chapin: When In Doubt, Do Something is an all-embracing and an extensive account of Harry's life and work.

Wade Major
A beautiful tribute to a man who really was a complete anomaly in the music industry in many ways.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Crust
"Harry Chapin: When in Doubt, Do Something" is an uplifting tribute to an impressive human being.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Lael Loewenstein
A lovely documentary and quite moving.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
Like its subject, this straightforward documentary is able to tell a decent story while still carrying a tune.

What's missing from the Chapin doc is the sort of colorful stuff that's normally a staple of documentaries about musicians from the 1970s. Instead, it's the story of a guy pretty much everybody liked.
Less Hat, Moorhead
M.V. Moorhead
The story is inspirational, and as with the Linda Ronstadt documentary, it's told against the background of that peerlessly dramatic and beautiful voice.
Newport This Week (RI)
Loren King
Harry Chapin: When in Doubt, Do Something is an important chronicle of Chapin, the musician and the man. But one is left with the bittersweet understanding of how much more he might have done.
The Hollywood Reporter
John DeFore
One suspects that a couple of TV docs made years ago were just as informative. Still, fans looking for an inspirational portrait of idealism will probably respond warmly...
