Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: There are some very good performances and some strong writing. Read more

Atlanta Journal-Constitution: Read more

Keith Phipps, AV Club: The story of the film: Studio money chasing after the cult-film audience and getting all the superficial elements right while missing the spirit entirely. It's the cinematic equivalent of Candlebox. Read more

Bill Muller, Arizona Republic: Exploring suburban malaise is nothing new ... but The Chumscrubber puts a fresh coat on the arguments. Read more

Carina Chocano, Los Angeles Times: An impassioned and occasionally mesmerizing first effort that's at once messier, more complex and more ambitious than many recent suburban dystopias. Read more

Dallas Morning News: Read more

Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: It's neither funny nor sad, and it's filled with cheats, phony come-ons and red herrings. Read more

Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune: A shallow, synthetic critique of suburbia loaded with more hand-me-down quirks than it can justify. Read more

Anna Smith, Time Out: Much like its characters: decorative, entertaining and emotionally empty. Read more

Scott Foundas, Variety: An insufferable, self-conscious cult movie. Read more
