Son of Rambow Ratings & Reviews
Film.com
Eric D. Snider
Son of Rambow is filled with small surprises and treasures, a veritable bounty of delight.
Detroit News
Tom Long
These two boys have, along with writer-director Garth Jennings, turned a coming-of-age story into a treatise on both the fragility of artistic vision and the danger of popular opinion.
Houston Chronicle
Joe Leydon
Son of Rambow is an inventive and amusing coming-of-age movie that deftly entwines elements of farce and fantasy, rebelliousness and sentiment, while paying seriously funny tribute to the transcendent power of art.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
After the movie, I imagined its writer-director, Garth Jennings (The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) being more than a little like Will, and the movie uncannily similar to one of Will's comic epics.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
Milner and Poulter are a lot of fun to watch, a pair of first-timer naturals who don't reek of Dakota Fanning Young Actorliness.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Plenty happens, but little of it advances the action, until the finale, which is lovely, but would have been a lot lovelier after 35 minutes, not 90.
Austin Chronicle
Kimberley Jones
Funny and sweet and guaranteed to flood you with good feeling.
Film.com
Jonathan F. Richards
Jennings is clearly having a wonderful time recreating the fantasies of his youth, but sometimes his perspective get a little too inbred, and the picture suffers for it.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
We cringe and laugh at -- and are ultimately moved by -- their clumsiness and innocence. And it endears us to the Rambo films in ways we never could have anticipated.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
I can't imagine a better movie for children and adults to enjoy together.
UGO
Keith Uhlich
Jennings and Goldsmith make good with the implications of their pseudonym [Hammer & Tongs], treating the proceedings as the world's biggest, baddest science project.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
First-time actors Milner and Poulter are gifted and natural.
The Deadbolt
Brian Tallerico
Like a lot of those home movies we made as children, Son of Rambow has the best of intentions and a great set-up, but the ending falls apart.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
It's an absolute delight.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
An '80s coming-of-age comedy with more energy than ideas.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
All part of growing up, an experience Son of Rambow portrays with genuine insight.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
A noble effort, but it just kind of falls apart.
Chicago Tribune
Tasha Robinson
The kid-heavy cast tends to substitute enthusiasm for subtlety, but the way they throw their hearts into their games just makes it easier to get drawn in.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
That unashamed passion for movies explains why, even when it gets a little too sweet in its final scenes, Rambow remains true to itself and to Will and Lee's friendship.
Los Angeles Times
Carina Chocano
For a film about falling in love with the movies, its insights on them are next to nil.
