Movie Reviews

San Francisco Examiner - 8/10 by Jeffrey M. AndersonFor a film that celebrates radical, nonconformist values, What to Do in Case of Fire? lazily and glumly settles into a most traditional, reserved kind of filmmaking.
Compuserve - 8/10 by Harvey S. KartenA high-spirited buddy movie about the reunion of Berlin anarchists who face arrest 15 years after their crime.
L.A. Weekly - 8/10 by Chuck WilsonIf the screenwriters never satisfactorily reconcile these charming misfits with the unsettling fact that they're also bomb planters, albeit clumsy ones, they make up for it with smart, character-driven dialogue that's brought to life by an equally sharp ensemble.
Boston Globe - 7/10 by Wesley MorrisLike Schumacher, director Gregor Schnitzler is more preoccupied with his characters' looks than their behavior. You might not buy the ideas. But you'll definitely want the T-shirt.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer - 7/10 by Sean AxmakerIt's like a "Big Chill" reunion of the Baader-Meinhof Gang, only these guys are more harmless pranksters than political activists.
TV Guide - 6/10 by Ken FoxThe group's credo, "Live free, stay high," only confirms your worst suspicions about their real motives. And that makes it hard to feel any nostalgia for the good old days or condemn the members who came to their senses and moved on.
Dallas Morning News - 6/10 by Jane SumnerIn his U.S. debut, Mr. Schnitzler proves himself a deft pace master and stylist.
New York Post - 5/10 by Megan TurnerIt's all entertaining enough, but don't look for any hefty anti-establishment message in what is essentially a whip-crack of a buddy movie that ends with a whimper.
Apollo Guide - 4/10 by Scott WeinbergHas an energy and enthusiasm that certainly works in fits and starts, but taken as a whole, it's a few explosions (and a lot of yearning) signifying very little.
User Review - 10/10 by Kate SFabulous, can watch it over and over again and not get bored.
