Janie Jones Reviews
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
Rosenthal fills this dewy road-trip movie with too many cliches.
Boston Globe
Tom Russo
"Janie Jones'' would feel more assured if Rosenthal had shown more inclination to commit.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
A mixture of discordant notes and way-too-familiar chords.
NPR
Ian Buckwalter
After a messy, cliched first half, Janie Jones is barely salvaged by the lightweight sweetness that emerges once it becomes a two-hander for Breslin and Nivola.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
There are moments when "Janie Jones" threatens to turn into "Crazy Heart," which is not necessarily a bad thing.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
The indie road movie "Janie Jones" is billed as "inspired by the true story" of its writer-director, David M. Rosenthal. Impossible. No one's life is this boring.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
Nivola and Breslin make a terrific mismatched pair in a film that often resembles a mash-up of "Crazy Heart" and Sofia Coppola's "Somewhere"...
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
Nominated for an Academy Award for 2006's "Little Miss Sunshine" when she was just 10 years old, Breslin here gives a performance of great naturalism and charm, effortlessly carrying a challenging leading role.
AV Club
Noel Murray
Contrivances aside ... Janie Jones is one of the more realistic depictions of what the rock 'n' roll lifestyle is really like.
Slant Magazine
Kenji Fujishima
You can probably guess what must happen during the course of this road trip. Even less surprising than its story arc, however, are its character details.
CinemaBlend
Perri Nemiroff
Not only reveals that Abigail Breslin as an incredibly talented singer, but an actress who can take a subpar script, breathe life into it and make it somewhat enjoyable, too.
Salon.com
Andrew O'Hehir
The movie works because it's essentially an old-fashioned two-hander for a couple of subtle and terrific actors.
indieWire
Eric Kohn
Although not exemplary, "Janie Jones" at least manages to give its tired scenario a sense of legitimacy.
Village Voice
Melissa Anderson
Nivola and Breslin sing and perform the original numbers, welcome interludes that provide respite from Rosenthal's lousy script.
Hollywood Reporter
Ray Bennett
An earnest tale about a faded rock star who discovers he has a teenaged daughter and takes her on the road, Janie Jones follows a predictable path and despite decent performances it does not catch fire.
Variety
Dennis Harvey
Despite the pic's assets and overall restraint, a whiff of cliched deja vu remains.
Washington City Paper
Tricia Olszewski
You'll get in touch with your softer side and want to punch it.
Boston Phoenix
Brett Michel
Not particularly memorable.
