| Salt Lake TribuneSean P. MeansGraff ... mines some spunky humor and heartfelt characters, all while coloring safely within the lines of the underdogs-reaching-the-top storyline. |
| NewsdayJohn AndersonSimultaneously shiny and retro, calibrated and uncalculated, familiar and unpredictable. |
| BrianOrndorf.comBrian OrndorfIt feels like three years to get to a point of resolution. Bandslam should take the lead of the rock gods: keep it moving, keep it simple, and know when to get off the stage. |
| BeliefnetNell MinowA little edgier than "High School Musical" and a little smarter than the usual tween fare, "Bandslam" is a refreshing late-summer treat for tweens, teens, and their families. |
| Hollywood ReporterMichael RechtshaffenHad Cameron Crowe and the late John Hughes collaborated on a movie populated by Disney Channel superstars, the result might have looked and sounded a lot like Todd Graff's Bandslam. And that's meant as a compliment. |
| News of the WorldRobbie CollinIt's perfect for families, but never patronising. Sassy, but not saucy. It's the Missing Link between wholesome kiddie fare and 15-rated smut like Superbad. |
| Independent (UK)Anthony QuinnGraff has wonderfully captured not just the emotional havoc of adolescence but its passionate belief in music as a life-changing force. |
| Toronto StarJason AndersonBandslam consistently exceeds current teen-flick standards thanks to its snarky humour, its strong musical sequences and its ability to convey the excitement the characters feel both about performing and forming new friendships. |
| Filmstar MagazineAnne WollenbergLaugh-out-loud funny, with less sugar and more teen spirit than the likes of High School Musical. |
| WaffleMovies.comWillie WaffleSurprise! This ain't no Disney-fied cotton candy movie. It has more bite, angst and soul than that. |
