Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press: Like most performers who chuck TV fame for the big screen, [Duff] follows one grim vehicle (A Cinderella Story) with this even worse one just a few months later. Read more
Connie Ogle, Miami Herald: Loaded with so much drama that the story sinks into a grim, sloppy soap-opera mix. Read more
Robert K. Elder, Chicago Tribune: Yes, parents surely want a family film they can take their young daughters to -- but not one so bland and colorless. Read more
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times: A teen movie so inspirational and heartwarming that it comes with its very own lip gloss. Read more
Ruthe Stein, San Francisco Chronicle: It's particularly good at capturing that time of life when you simultaneously believe everything is possible and that each tiny misstep is the end of the world. Read more
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: I like Hilary Duff, she's very charming, but she's stuck on this after school special level with these movies. Read more
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: More annoyingly bland than genuinely awful. However, the presentation of its cute-as-a-button star is genuinely, absolutely, immeasurably awful. Read more
Randy Cordova, Arizona Republic: Bad in so many departments that pointing out the flaws is like shooting fish in a barrel. Read more
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe: The movie is the most fun kind of terrible. Read more
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times: The filmmakers make a big show of striving for sincerity and substance, but they so load the dice that their movie is heavy-going from start to finish. Read more
Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle: A miserable waste of a harebrained script fleshed out with mediocre performances by a flailing cast. Read more
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: [Duff] makes me long for the comparatively Dostoyevskian depths of Sandra Dee. Read more
Jane Sumner, Dallas Morning News: It's a sweet and touching West Coast Fame, though it lacks that 1980 musical's manic energy and excitement. Read more
Chuck Wilson, L.A. Weekly: Duff ... has sold over four million records and toured to packed houses, yet screenwriter Sam Schreiber and director Sean McNamara, both making feature debuts, set her up to sing just one song through to completion. Read more
Gene Seymour, Newsday: One could be forgiven for thinking of Raise Your Voice as a Disney Channel special that was mistakenly spun out into the multiplexes. Read more
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger: A film that's really just an infomercial for a soundtrack. Read more
Jami Bernard, New York Daily News: Not since the students spilled out onto the streets in Fame has musical performance been so infectious a part of coming of age. Read more
Anita Gates, New York Times: Ms. Duff's screen presence and the film's infectious high spirits will make this piece of fluff appealing to young moviegoers without conveying any sinister messages. Read more
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: An earnest and eager Fame for the young and the tin-eared. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: Her dad was right about one thing. Something terrible did happen to her in Los Angeles. She made this movie. Read more
Leah McLaren, Globe and Mail: The film suffers from a syndrome I'll call the Pop Princess's New Clothes. Hilary can't really sing, and neither can Terri, so you can't help but wonder, what's the big whoop? Read more
Susan Walker, Toronto Star: The music in Raise Your Voice ... manages to bring home what the uninspired script doesn't: Something in you dies if you don't express your musical talent. Read more
Mike Clark, USA Today: Even the kindest reaction to Raise My Voice is likely to be 'shut your face.' Read more
Lael Loewenstein, Variety: It's nowhere near as exhilarating as Fame or even Flashdance, and Terri's performance skills are less awe-inspiring than the plot requires. Read more
Laura Sinagra, Village Voice: All we can do is marvel at how the mighty -- Northern Exposure hottie John Corbett (as a weirdly flirty music teacher) and Risky Business babe Rebecca De Mornay (as Duff's frisky aunt) -- have fallen. Read more
Desson Thomson, Washington Post: This is for Duff's already committed audiences, which presumably consist of the young, the innocent and the commercially acquisitive. Read more
