Chicago Reader -
Unlike the many youth movies that can't overcome their makers' hindsight, this one may actually put you in an adolescent frame of mind.

The Globe and Mail (Toronto) -
The tuneful melodies of their favourite band grace the soundtrack, but let's not confuse this with a rock 'n' roll movie -- the music is just the blank canvas awaiting the higher art of the gross-out.

Village Voice -
There's an awful lot of rocking out going on in Detroit Rock City, but then rocking out is this occasionally clever but lifeless movie's reason for being.

Washington Post -
Well, it could have been good. But this goofy homage to Kiss fans gets dry mouth pretty fast.

Film Threat -
If you love KISS, you'll probably see this movie anyway. If you don't, there's no point.
