Reviews

The Guardian -
Nicole Kidman gives her best performance since "To Die For."
|
|
The Hollywood Reporter -
In the spirit of the venture, the entire cast gets down and comes off all the better for it. Both Efron and McConaughey get very messed up physically, and both actors seem stimulated to be playing such flawed characters.
|
|
Time -
All the actors rise or bend to the challenge, giving juicy performances and seemingly having a fine old time.
|
|
Village Voice -
When not contriving to get Efron out of his clothes, The Paperboy gropes for familiar movie language of its period setting: Soul music swells up excitedly over a jumble of jerky zooms, befuddling cuts, and spatial vagueness. But sometimes hot messiness has its charms.

Boxoffice Magazine -
This is a curio that demands to be seen.
