Movie Reviews

Deseret News, Salt Lake City - 9/10 by Josh TerryLee provides the kind of welcome down-to-earth good-old-boy charm he used in TV's My Name is Earl and Cameron Crowe's Almost Famous.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com - 8/10 by Cary DarlingThe film feels like an extended episode of The Wonder Years, if that '60s-set series had served a little chicken tikka masala and cross-cultural understanding with its white bread and pop hits.
The New York Times - 6/10 by Neil GenzlingerThe movie has a roughly equal number of clumsy moments and sweet ones.
The Hollywood Reporter - 6/10 by John DeForeThe picture hits many of the expected schoolyard beats with just enough specificity (the vegetarian boy's first encounter with fried chicken, for example) to keep it from feeling generic.
Lagniappe (Mobile, AL) - 5/10 by Asia FreyFlawed but not without its merits, including heart, humor and a look at the complex immigrant experience that hides a painful depth beneath its amusing surface. The film sneaks up on you with a family drama that is surprisingly unsparing.
Salt Lake Tribune - 5/10 by Sean P. MeansThe joys and pains of childhood are familiar across all cultures -- and, as the cloying comedy Growing Up Smith demonstrates, hackneyed variations on The Wonder Years also are universal.
Los Angeles Times - 5/10 by Gary GoldsteinGrowing Up Smith is a well-intentioned fizzle that misses what should have been an easily reachable mark.
User Review - 10/10 by Paul KTerrific culture-clash movie in the vein of Fresh Off The Boat and other comedies told from the perspective of growing up as a first generation American. The art direction is terrific and the story is going to touch everyone as you root for Smith. Director, Frank Lotito has put together a perfect film with excellent acting all around especially from newcomer, Roni Akurati. Would be great to see this one become a series in the future.
User Review - 10/10 by Aki TThis movie was so funny and sweet. I laughed and cried. I think anyone with a sense of humor or heart will love this movie.
User Review - 10/10 by Sam WNow this film I just saw and had to say something! THESE are the kinds of films we've been missing all these years. Growing up Smith is the perfect combination of a family-kid friendly film with some teeth to it. Lighthearted with a message, funny, exuberant and most timely in today's America. This film won't preach to you and I can't put my finger on just one thing in particular, but it left me feeling euphoric walking out. Nostalgia, memories and emotions flowed through me. It hearkens back to a time where we were all innocent. As kids emulating our parents and yearning to break out. The performances are just as impressive. Jason Lee appears in a role I've never seen him play, and plays it to perfection: The beer drinking role model... Hilarie Burton and Poorna Jagannathan play characters who couldn't be more opposite, yet are equally as endearing. Anjul Nigam was terrific and relentless. At times I felt as though he was the film's hero and others it's villain. Lastly, the kids stole the show. Brighton Sharbino and Roni Akurati were delightful. They had tremendous rapport with one another and delivered as authentic performances as I have seen kids deliver in a film! If you want to have fun, if you want to laugh, if you want tears in your eyes and if you want to remember the good old days, THIS is the film to see! Very impressed, Bravo!
