Leave your thoughts about Broadway Idiot.
| RogerEbert.comOdie HendersonI love this kind of backstage documentary, which is not surprising for someone who has "All That Jazz" and "All About Eve" on his all-time top ten list. |
| Movie DearestFr. Chris CarpenterVibrant & colorful. The documentary emphasizes the positive and tends to gloss over any backstage tensions. Still, it is a fine testament to a great modern musical. |
| Shared DarknessBrent SimonA film about both [creative] challenges and choices... Broadway Idiot does a good job of tapping into the source material's thick veins of feeling. |
| Aisle SeatMike McGranaghanPerhaps the highest compliment I can pay the film is to say this: I really want to see American Idiot on stage now. |
| VarietyGuy LodgeA straightforward account of the show’s journey from conception to rehearsal to Great White Way triumph, it effectively doubles as a traditional let’s-put-on-a-show musical in its own right, albeit one with heavier guitars. |
| The Film StageJared MobarakDespite it ultimately being a glorified behind-the-scenes feature, it's easy to get excited and hope the American Idiot traveling company has your city on its tour. |
| Arizona RepublicBill GoodykoontzBroadway Idiot is entertaining enough. Certainly if you’re a Green Day fan, it’s something close to essential. But it never goes too deeply into anything. |
| New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanThe movie can’t help feeling like a vanity affair — a shot of novocaine, instead of a letter bomb. |
| Chicago ReaderJ. R. JonesHamilton can't go too far wrong because American Idiot is such a killer collection of songs. |
| McClatchy-Tribune News ServiceRoger MooreThe film captures the magic and manic energy of the performances, the inventive choreography and spine-tingling tunes. |
