Mr. Showbiz Cody Clark
Mad About Mambo's steps may be as familiar as the hokeypokey, but there's just enough gusto in the execution to make it a guilty pleasure.
Read Full Review >Seattle Post-Intelligencer Sean Axmaker
Splashy and sweetly romantic, if hopelessly unimaginative.
Read Full Review >Film.com John Hartl
(Ash and Russell) generate just enough tension to keep the audience interested.
Read Full Review >TV Guide Maitland McDonagh
This genial little picture, which has been kicking around for more than a year, doesn't have a mean bone in its body.
Read Full Review >Variety Robert Koehler
Lacking the kind of fire and energy that the best youth movies demand, leads Ash and Russell display skills better tuned to the small screen.
