Tommy Regan's soulfulness and enthusiasm brings the audience to joyful tears, despite the weak script. McNamara lets each actor shine but it is Janel Parrish's heartfelt performance that will inspire many to run home to hug their loved ones
the director, Sean McNamara, keeps hitting the most ragged of cliche notes; A subplot about how Vaughn's guitar goes missing is so sketchy it barely makes sense. "Mighty Oak" is the kind of movie that turns reincarnation into cardboard
it's a warm and welcoming film, a scrappy, scruffy underdog of a movie that, despite a few issues, will likely leave you with a smile on your face and a song in your heart
