Movie Reviews

NewsBlaze - 10/10 by Kam WilliamsA sleeper that can't miss with the indie art house crowd.
Reeling Reviews - 9/10 by Laura CliffordCentered by a blissfully egotistical performance by John Malkovich, arrestingly attired by costume designer Johnetta Boone ("The Notebook"), "The Great Buck Howard" is a sweet, nostalgic film.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch - 9/10 by Joe WilliamsThe Great Buck Howard is cheekily observant about celebrity self-importance while still conveying Buck's commitment to entertaining regular folks.
BrianOrndorf.com - 9/10 by Brian OrndorfThe film is fun to watch, easy on the frontal lobe, and features John Malkovich in a lively performance that's both masterfully impish and authentically mysterious.
Hollywood & Fine - 9/10 by Marshall FineWhat gives The Great Buck Howard its humor and warmth is the way Buck is written and played...Malkovich's performance is a captivating bit of sleight of hand.
Palo Alto Weekly - 9/10 by Jeanne AufmuthI wish there were more movies like Buck Howard; simply effortless and earnest.
Arkansas Democrat-Gazette - 9/10 by Philip Martin...a charming, pleasantly diverting movie that is hard to dislike.
Detroit News - 9/10 by Tom LongMalkovich keeps Buck an enigma -- part fool, part unheralded genius -- and if the film moves in expected ways it also hits some subtle grace notes.
I.E. Weekly - 8/10 by Amy NicholsonTo their credit, Malkovich and McGinly never make sentimentality easy--when Buck's career starts picking up, the first thing he does is get a facelift.
FilmsInReview.com - 8/10 by Victoria AlexanderHighly entertaining and clever. Malkovich dominates every scene.
