Down and Out with the Dolls Ratings & Reviews
Newsday
John Anderson
The movie's post-grunge Portland, Ore., quartet is almost laughably cliched -- which seems in direct opposition to the anti-authoritarian attitude of the movie.
Entertainment Today
Brent Simon
Most successful in rooting viewers in a convincing milieu; there's a certain attention to detail and fitful energy that leaves more of a vivid stamp in your brain than the movie as a whole probably earns.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
The music is sensational, the energy level high, and Down and Out With the Dolls is a wise and funny treat.
L.A. Weekly
Hazel-Dawn Dumpert
Like a good punk tune, the filmmaker's focused energy distracts from compositional flaws.
The Hollywood Reporter
Kirk Honeycutt
A meritless and exasperating film experience, lacking any insight, drama or humor regarding its subject, the underground music scene.
Filmcritic.com
Christopher Null
With The Paper Dolls' music no longer being played, we're all much better off.
San Francisco Chronicle
Edward Guthmann
A lot of the acting is amateurish, and most of the plot feels like a rehash of a rehash.
Oregonian
Shawn Levy
It buoys you with the charm of its cast and the bred-in-the-bone local feel even as you have to squint to ignore its failings in technique and storytelling.
New York Post
Megan Lehmann
While Dolls has a feverish energy -- and some good songs -- it suffers from crude performances and a trite rise-and-fall plot.
Arizona Republic
Randy Cordova
It's Josie and the Pussycats meets Kids, with neither cinematic style served well.
E! Online
E! Staff
Welcome to the valley of the Dolls. It's a valley where boring indie movies go to die.
New York Times
Dave Kehr
Follows the standard show business rise-and-fall format, though the rise experienced by the Paper Dolls, as the assembled group calls itself, consists of a few club dates and a spectacular house party, held before they've even issued a single CD.
Chicago Tribune
Patrick Z. McGavin
The movie belongs to the women, and they perform with attitude and power.
Village Voice
Laura Sinagra
No irony and no plot beyond Girls Have Band.
TV Guide
Maitland McDonagh
Scrappy, scruffy and more energetic than polished.
Internet Reviews
Steve Rhodes
[It] plays like a parody of a film festival reject. ... Where are Josie and the Pussycats when you need them?
Boxoffice Magazine
Michael Tunison
This saga of the rise and fall of an all-grrrrl band may not be the slickest act in town on the dramatic front, but its anarchic, overamplified energy and snotty-as-life rebel characters definitely manage to make an impression.
AboutFilm.com
Carlo Cavagna
Ambitious egomaniacs and drug-addled losers, jealousy and infidelity, exploitative *******s everywhere you turn, and stoner drummers who just want to rock--the underground music scene is the same anywhere in the USA.
Film Threat
Patrick "Flick" Harrison
Shot on digital without making a big fuss about it, DAOWTD shows what DIY is all about.
