The Hollywood Reporter - Kirk Honeycutt
One of the best film musicals in years -- exuberant, sexy and life affirming in equal measure.
91
Seattle Post-Intelligencer - William Arnold
Columbus is a member of the '80s generation and he gives the play authenticity, the respect of a classic, an epic visual scope and a sensibility that's blissfully free of any generational self-pity. It seems to be the movie he was born to make, and he serves it well.
91
Entertainment Weekly - Owen Gleiberman
The movie is literally a series of showstoppers, unified by the impulse to turn life, at its scruffiest, into theater - into a rhapsody of the everyday.
75
Chicago Tribune - Unnamed
It's a pretty good version of a pretty great stage phenomenon.

Premiere - Peter Debruge
Considering how much new additions Rosario Dawson (as Mimi) and Tracie Thoms (as Joanne) bring to the film, it's a shame Columbus didn't introduce more changes.
