The Onion (A.V. Club) | Nathan RabinAdd Critic to Favorites

For a film that has nothing to offer but lazy '80s nostalgia, Kickin' It Old Skool doesn't even bother to get the details right.Read the full review

The New York Times | Neil GenzlingerAdd Critic to Favorites

A romantic subplot is formulaic, and, most disappointing, the break-dance sequences don't sizzle, though the film's director, Harvey Glazer, is known for his music videos. Keep an eye out, however, for some nutty cameos.Read the full review

Boston Globe | Wesley MorrisAdd Critic to Favorites

Probably as tolerable as it can be for a comedy with no obvious creative aim. You can imagine the crew cracking up on some outtake reel, which honestly is what this movie feels like.Read the full review

Variety | Dennis HarveyAdd Critic to Favorites

An inauspicious feature debut for director Harv Glazer and all three scenarists, the "Big"-meets-breakdancing comedy will be kickin' it to ancillary by swimsuit season.Read the full review

San Francisco Chronicle | Peter HartlaubAdd Critic to Favorites

A very stupid movie, with many more failed jokes than successful ones. Worse yet, much of the comedy is kind of mean.Read the full review

ReelViews | James BerardinelliAdd Critic to Favorites

The Hollywood Reporter | Frank ScheckAdd Critic to Favorites

Fails to live up to even the feeble potential of its premise.Read the full review

Los Angeles Times | Mark OlsenAdd Critic to Favorites

A witless, mind-numbingly inert comedy.Read the full review
