Film Threat -
This is one of those films that will either hit it big as an indie crossover like "Little Miss Sunshine,” or just make some money and become a film nerd favorite. Either way I recommend you don’t miss this awkwardly fun gem.

Premiere -
As fate would have it, Rocket Science might prove to be the handiwork of a burgeoning cinematic genius.

TV Guide Magazine -
Teenage angst and adolescent agony are the stuff of sharp, observant comedy this quirky, wonderfully dry first fiction feature from documentary filmmaker Jeffrey Blitz (Spellbound).
|
|
Philadelphia Inquirer -
Blitz captures the melancholy, the rage, the wackiness and drama of adolescence, and he gets winning performances out of his young stars.

Christian Science Monitor -
Blitz captures high school atmosphere well – not an easy thing to do – but overall the movie coasts on quirkiness.
