Leave your thoughts about Daltry Calhoun.
| TV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonaghThe soundtrack, which ranges from Johnny Cash to Serge Gainsbourg to the Wu-Tang Clan, is admirably eclectic but can't be said to pull things together. |
| New York PostLou LumenickSeriously flawed - and choppily edited in the worst Harvey Scissorhands style - but there are enough good moments to anticipate a second film from writer-director Katrina Holden Bronson, whose parents were Charles Bronson and Jill Ireland. |
| The Hollywood ReporterSheri LindenAims for whimsy and poignancy and mostly comes up empty. |
| Village VoiceBenjamin StrongDaltry Calhoun (Johnny Knoxville) urges you to "get high on grass--the legal kind." But to find anything funny in director Katrina Holden Bronson's debut, you're going to want the illegal kind. |
| The New York TimesLaura KernAlthough the film starts off somewhat amusingly, the first-time feature director Katrina Holden Bronson (who also wrote the unbalanced script) seems to have spent more energy assembling the overbearing soundtrack than expanding on her characters' fractured relationships. |
| L.A. WeeklyMark OlsenTraub does her plucky best, coming off as part Judy Blume heroine, part post-WB hipster, and she provides the film with its few and infrequent moments of emotional truth. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin CrustIn the parlance of "The Player," Katrina Holden Bronson's Daltry Calhoun would be pitched as "Because of Winn-Dixie" meets "Napoleon Dynamite," and that is definitely not a good thing. |
| Austin ChronicleMarc SavlovDaltry Calhoun's saving grace comes in the form of a snappy compilation soundtrack that spans from Johnny Cash to Serge Gainsbourg, a feat of all-inclusiveness that renders the film a moot point at best. |
| User ReviewNancyF.I really enjoyed the movie. I am from a town in Tennessee just south of where it was taped. It is a good change from all the gangster shooting movies. Daltry was taught a life lesson that we all can learn from. We have not just our feelings to consider but others as well. |
| User ReviewTorjusR.This movie blew my mind. Best movie ever! You will cry, you will laugh and you will get a new perspective on life.. |
