a delightful coming-of-age story with few surprises but strong performances throughout; despite some minor issues, Livolsi's debut is an absolute crowd-pleaser that will please adults and speak straight to the hearts of repressed, rowdy teens everywhere
a confident and perfectly cast debut feature; there isn't a false note in the performances, and the pairing of Asa Butterfield and Alex Wolff, as mismatched Minnesota teens who start a band, is an absolute delight
"quirky," sensitive, and cute, complete with pat life lessons and predictable challenges; When it's not busy hitting the usual notes, Peter Livolsi's film, manages to be a touching exploration of what "tomorrow" actually means
