Lucas Ratings & Reviews
Washington Post
Paul Attanasio
... director David Seltzer has kept it low-key, sweet and personal -- it's like a nice "Afterschool Special."
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
Lucas is as irresistible as its slight, brilliant, bespectacled 14-year-old hero (Corey Haim).
Chicago Tribune
Rick Kogan
Having carefully and sensitively drawn an interesting character and put him in an interesting place, the filmmakers start painting with their fingers and ultimately provide a very familiar picture.
Sarasota Herald-Tribune
Christopher Lloyd
It's hard to think of another movie where so many young performers have so forcefully announced themselves to the world.
Common Sense Media
Randy White
A realistic look at a teen's coming-of-age.
DVDJournal.com
Betsy Bozdech
The kind of sweet teenage comedy-romance that seems almost exclusive to the '80s.
Kansas City Kansan
Steve Crum
Haim is engaging in this tale of a lonely teen.
New York Times
Walter Goodman
No, it's not a daringly original plot and yes, it is sentimental, but Mr. Seltzer handles his small story as gently as Lucas handles the baby locust he finds in the road.
Moviehole
Caffeinated Clint
Highly entertaining. A movie for the underdog in all of us.
Kalamazoo Gazette
James Sanford
a mid-1980s sleeper that's worth rediscovering
Spirituality & Practice
Mary Ann Brussat
Explores the downside of peer pressures in high school and the high value given to sports.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
It would be tragic if this film would get lost in the shuffle of "teenage movies." This is a movie that is as pure and true to the adolescent experience as Truffaut's The 400 Blows.
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
It's a poignant and effective character study that manages not only to explore important teenage issues without condescending to the audience, but to offer an upbeat ending without descending into mawkishness.
