The New York TimesA.O. ScottMay 10, 2012
The look, the rhythm and the scruffy, on-the-fly ambience of the film make it feel unusually fresh and lively. It may be the same old song, but it's also a catchy remix. Read full review

New York PostSara StewartMay 11, 2012
It's a nice, mud-free way to spend a bit of time rocking out in the rain with the Scots. Read full review

TimeRichard CorlissMay 12, 2012
If the film is to work at all - and it eventually does - the two 27-year-old leads must radiate enough star quality to obviate the ramshackle plot. They just about do. Read full review

Total FilmStaff (Not Credited)May 5, 2012
It's not quite "Before Sunrise" with mud and portaloos then, but warm vibes, buzzy crowd scenes and the two leads' enthusiasm will pull you through to the morning after. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleMay 10, 2012
If only the falling-in-love machinations and character details weren't so wispy, Tonight You're Mine might have had more resonance. That said, the film has its moments. Read full review

VarietyLeslie FelperinMay 5, 2012
Picture may not be Scots helmer David Mackenzie's best effort, but it's easily his most lighthearted, a cheery trifle that reps a contrast to his recent pictures, the apocalyptic "Perfect Sense" and U.S.-set comic misfire "Spread." Read full review

The A.V. ClubAlison WillmoreMay 9, 2012
Musicians, according to Tonight You're Mine, are a callous, narcissistic lot - fortunately, the music they make gets a pass. Read full review

New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanMay 10, 2012
It's hard to imagine this was his intent, but David Mackenzie's minor romp manages to make being a rock star look like a distinctly unglamorous affair. Read full review

Village VoiceKarina LongworthMay 8, 2012
The authenticity baked into the production doesn't redeem the absurdly improbable premise, the attractive actors don't do anything to make the caricatures they're playing feel real, and the aggressive hipness of the film is queasily dated - it's the cinematic equivalent of the clearance corner at Urban Outfitters.

Time OutJoshua RothkopfMay 8, 2012
You can go to one of those sweaty, immersive outdoor music fests and get splattered with the mud and euphoria that always engulfs fans. Or you can cheap out and see this predictable rom-com-shot at the 2010 edition of Scotland's then-in-progress T in the Park­-and boggle at finding strangers in the audience more appealing than our main characters.

The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeMay 5, 2012
Director David Mackenzie's film about two rival band members handcuffed to each other takes too long to find its footing. Read full review

EmpireEve BarlowMay 5, 2012
The pair muster some chemistry but it's the big musical moments - including a gusto-packed Soft Cell riff - that impress most. Sadly, the pair's romance is predictable and the plot unfolds with all the freshness of a two day old fish supper. Read full review

San Francisco ChronicleAmy BiancolliJun 14, 2012
The script is as bland as they come. Read full review

Slant MagazineChris CabinMay 8, 2012
The film's narrative conceit is so rigidly formulaic and lethargically spun that even the looseness and spontaneity that the setting affords feels dull and constricting. Read full review

The GuardianPeter BradshawMay 5, 2012
A jaw-droppingly self-indulgent, shallow, smug if mercifully brief feature with a plot that looks like the outline for a pop video. Read full review
