The Idolmaker Ratings & Reviews
Newsday
Joseph Gelmis
There's no one with whom to sympathize and there's no accumulation of honest emotion by film's end. Nonetheless, in the style of a live-action comic book, The Idolmaker is colorful and brash and vulgar entertainment much of the time.
The Dissolve
Noel Murray
The movie's two main aims -- to blow the lid off the music business and to exalt some of the unsung heroes of American pop culture -- are somewhat contradictory, and haven't been worked into a polished narrative.

Emanuel Levy
Taylor Hackford showed his skills as a commercial director with his very first picture.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
At the core of The Idolmaker, making it a better film than it might otherwise have been, is the hungry, lonely ego of the movie's hero, Vince Vacarri.
