Hero Mode Ratings & Reviews
In Review Online
Nicholas Yap
Teamwork makes the dream work, but Hero Mode suggests it's the latter that decides the bounds within which the former is allowed to intervene.
Culture Mix
Carla Hay
The family film Hero Mode is stuck in one mode: low-quality. This poorly written, predictable movie about a computer gaming whiz has an uneven tone that stumbles back and forth, from cringeworthy comedy to sappy melodrama.
Common Sense Media
Tara McNamara
This "kids can" comedy should entertain most tweens, although parents may find the amateur filmmaking trip-ups frustrating/annoying.
Polygon
Jesse Hassenger
The movie's status as a family comedy isn't exactly an excuse for its failings, but it's at least a partial explanation.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
The simplistic underdog scenario plays out in clunky fashion due to some increasingly far-fetched twists that compromise the occasional flashes of nerdy charm.
Austin Chronicle
Richard Whittaker
As a heartfelt feel-good story about industrial espionage and how to win the right way, Hero Mode is charming if undemanding, and feels at least a little authentic to its milieu.
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
The world of gaming could conceivably provide a backdrop for a witty satire or a raunchy farce, but this limp kid-centric take on it is unlikely to amuse anybody, even its young target audience.
Variety
Nick Schager
Its cheesy earnestness goes down relatively smoothly, and with a shout-out to Nintendo maestro Shigeru Miyamoto and an offhand reference to "Super Mario Bros.," it demonstrates that it knows its gaming stuff.
Film Threat
Bobby LePire
All in all, while it has a few flaws, families will get a lot of sitting on the couch and watching this film together.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
The production isn't swinging for the fences with this material, but they find ways to reach viewers of all ages while still playing into current pop culture trends concerning kids and big-time gaming biz dreams.
