| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliStraight viewing could result in brain damage. |
| What Would Toto Watch?Christian TotoThe Dukes sings in a low-key harmony that's hard to resist. |
| Los Angeles CityBeatAndy KleinBetween the performances and the nice visual style, the whole feels greater than the sum of its plot points. |
