The Boston Globe

"Of the many movies set in or near Boston in 2010, the black-and-white one about kids who erupt spontaneously into song might be the most exciting." - Wesley Morris
"The most buzzed-about movie at the prestigious Tribeca Film Festival... A gritty, no-budget love letter to Beantown, from its opening shots of Fish Pier to its climactic lovers' confrontation in the parking lot of the Alewife T station. And, yes, the characters sing and dance, at house parties near Harvard Square, alone in the gardens of the Old North Church, atop the steam tables and bar of Cambridge's beloved clam shack. The movie is a kind of tribute to the secret Broadway show we each carry within ourselves, and to a softer, sweeter Boston than movie audiences often see." - Ty Burr
