Leave your thoughts about Poster Boy.
| Mixed ReviewsGabriel ShanksBy the final half-hour, Poster Boy manages a surprising amount of magnetism. |
| TV GuideMaitland McDonaghThe film's strident tone also serves to undermine its generally above-average performances. |
| EDGE BostonPhil HallOffers an affirmation that conservatives are not ready to cast that proverbial first stone. |
| San Diego Union-TribuneDavid ElliottThe people do not reduce to issues, but we know they will hit their issues marks reliably. |
| San Francisco ChronicleG. Allen JohnsonSome clunky writing and a distracting subplot limit the effectiveness of this ambitious low-budget indie. Great idea for a movie, though. |
| All Movie GuideJosh RalskeAside from topicality and good intentions, the film is reasonably engaging and well acted. But it's also more than a little bit overwrought. |
| New York PostV.A. MusettoTucker's message is sometimes on target, even if his film isn't. |
| Chicago ReaderHank SartinDirector Zak Tucker is a bit too fond of jump cuts as signifiers of edginess. Still, when the material doesn't get in the way he's pretty good at getting across the emotional content. |
| New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisA polemic masquerading as a movie, Poster Boy unspools like a humorless lecture on right-wing homophobia. |
| Filmcritic.comDon WillmottWe all sat around in college having the sort of angry liberal rap sessions that this film painstakingly recreates. We don't have to relive them now. |
