Chicago Sunday Times Roger Ebert I liked Son of Rambow in a benign sort of way, but I was left wanting something more. | 15 | |
ReelViews James Berardinelli It's tough to dislike Son of Rambow; the movie is too good-natured to target with slings and arrows. Nevertheless, the pre-fabricated feel and obligatory sense of character development may leave some viewers feeling a little deflated by the time all the mandatory happy ending has arrived. | 13 | |
ScreenIt C. Fuchs Pretty much instantly forgettable afterwards but enjoyable enough while it unfolds. | 12 | |
