What the Critics say | ||
Cape Argus / The Star Theresa Smith Battle of the bands, high school style... | 10 | |
Die Burger Jeanne Calitz Heel interessant | 10 | |
Cape Times Michael Rechtshaffen 'Bandslam' a fresh backbeat | 15 | |
Box Office Amy Nicholson For a wide release, this one’s got a ''can't believe I found this one in the $3 bin!'' vibe. | 10 | |
Chicago Sunday Times Roger Ebert This isn't a breakthrough movie, but for what it is, it’s charming, and not any more innocuous than it has to be. | 15 | |
eye Weekly Will Sloan The film mostly eschews outlandish situations and cartoon characters in favour of a relatively naturalistic approach. And if a movie with a character named “Sa5m” can pull off naturalism, that’s something to be admired. | 10 | |
ScreenIt C. Fuchs This entire production comes off as recycled mediocrity. | 10 | |

Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer Bandslam is an intelligent teen film that avoids teen film cliches, in an entertaining package of music and coming-of-age drama. | 16 | |
