American Hero Ratings & Reviews
RogerEbert.com
Nick Allen
A Dorff sideshow first and foremost, "American Hero" is far too casual with Melvin's character arc, and the appeal of superhuman abilities.
Los Angeles Times
Gary Goldstein
Writer-director Nick Love brings an enticingly quirky sensibility to the kaleidoscopic action, infusing his offbeat tale with raucous charm and a big, sloppy heart.
New York Times
Neil Genzlinger
"American Hero" starts off seeming as if it is going to be a fresh take on superheroes, but Nick Love, who wrote and directed, turns out to have nowhere to go with his intriguing premise.
Film Journal International
Maitland McDonagh
This drama about a deadbeat father trying to straighten up for his young son takes an unusual and not particularly convincing turn when it's revealed that dad has a superpower.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
Love submits a crude, confused tale of soulful awakening with "American Hero," habitually unsure what to do with the characters or even how to tell the story, leaving Dorff to do all the heavy lifting as the endeavor spins out of control.

We don't need another hero, right? American Hero begs to differ.
Village Voice
Aaron Hillis
The filmmakers blend tones like a child mixing fountain drinks into one unidentifiable flavor.
