Illuminating as it is entertaining.Full Review

Kevin Thomas
Los Angeles Times

Familiar in its story arc, but fresh in its energy and lucky in its choice of actors.Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

Having built his cast from friends and family, the director is left with some stilted acting, but that's easily outweighed by the film's infectious enthusiasm.Full Review

Chuck Wilson
L.A. Weekly

Sometimes amateurishly acted by the appealing younger cast but is nonetheless a neat blend of well-drawn major characters and drama, music, dance, romance and humor that generates considerable charm and achieves a heartwarming resolution of its generational conflict.Full Review

Lawrence Van Gelder
The New York Times

A likable, if somewhat earnest, exploration of cultural identity.Full Review
