Like Going's award-winning book, the film is frank and doesn't sugarcoat the source material.

A sweet-natured and loose-limbed coming-of-age tale that delivers by way of its smart, sympathetic performances and an accumulation of telling details.

Lillard - an actor best-known for his role in "The Descendants" - uses the locations well enough, but the result is still a standard coming-of-age picture.

Poignant, funny and well-acted. A commendable directorial debut of Matthew Lillard.

The movie is achingly slow, and by the time it's over, the story is about where it should have been after about 45 minutes.

The scenario sounds cliched, but it's brought to life by authentic characters, solid laughs, and surprisingly honest emotions.
November 29, 2012
The depiction of high school band life rings true at every turn, bringing a sense of authenticity to the familiar teenage drama.

It's got its flaws, starting with the fact that the ground it covers is exceedingly well-trodden, but it's amiable and it's honest, and that counts for something.

Endearingly uneven.

[Billy] Campbell's performance is one of the finest of the year, and probably won't be duly recognized

It's a lot better than it sounds like it has any right to be.
October 05, 2012
The film succeeds thanks to Lillard's clear affection for the material and on the strength of its performances, especially Billy Campbell as Troy's conflicted father.
