Leave your thoughts about The Fantasticks.
| Film Journal InternationalDavid NohAn underpopulated, cliched Romeo-and-Juliet affair that only comes to life during its song sequences. |
| San Francisco ChronicleEdward GuthmannHas slow patches and requires a generous suspension of disbelief. But it's also sweet and optimistic -- a welcome antidote to gloom. |
| Movie MetropolisJohn J. PuccioThe movie musical is practically a dead horse in Hollywood, and The Fantasticks does little to kick it back to life. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasIt has that bygone style, in which impossibly innocent ingenues suddenly break into blissfully tuneful song. |
| TNT RoughCutAndy KleinThis is the first Broadway-sourced movie musical in umpteen years, and you should see it, because the score is gorgeous. |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeTruth to tell, it's exactly the kind of musical pointed out by people who say they just don't like musicals. |
| Mr. ShowbizKevin MaynardThe deliberate simplicity that works so well at the Sullivan Street Theater seems flat, anachronistic and almost spooky on the big screen. |
| TV Guide MagazineAngel Cohn & Lauren KaneWhile the cast and songs are top notch, the predictability of the madness makes it pretty clear that this musical shouldn't have left the stage |
| New York PostLou LumenickThe resulting film is one of too much reverence and not enough satire. |
| Film SnobberyPhil HallIt provides an invaluable example of how not to make a movie out of a stage classic. |
