Critic Reviews of "Growing Up Smith (Good Ol' Boy)"
Los Angeles TimesFebruary 09, 2017A strained cross between broad, culture-clash comedy and wistful coming-of-age tale, "Growing Up Smith" is a well-intentioned fizzle that misses what should have been an easily reachable mark.
Hollywood ReporterFebruary 03, 2017A crowd-friendly immigrant's tale painted with a thick coat of '70s nostalgia.
New York TimesFebruary 02, 2017The film has accidental topicality now with the debate over immigration swirling, but you don't need to burden it with politics to be touched by its tale of a child who is pulled by two very different cultural worlds.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.comFebruary 01, 2017The film feels like an extended episode of The Wonder Years, if that '60s-set series had served a little chicken tikka masala and cross-cultural understanding with its white bread and pop hits.
Salt Lake TribuneMay 04, 2017The joys and pains of childhood are familiar across all cultures -- and, as the cloying comedy Growing Up Smith demonstrates, hackneyed variations on The Wonder Years also are universal.
Deseret News, Salt Lake CityApril 28, 2017Lee provides the kind of welcome down-to-earth good-old-boy charm he used in TV's My Name is Earl and Cameron Crowe's Almost Famous.
NYC Movie GuruFebruary 03, 2017Warm, tender and heartfelt. A funny, witty and crowd-pleasing delight! More powerful than Lion!
Chicago Daily HeraldFebruary 02, 2017Growing Up Smith possesses a big heart, features a funny and engagingly sincere performance by Lake Zurich's Roni Akurati, and offers an ending that swaps easy sentiment for the hard-earned kind.
Cleveland Plain DealerMarch 30, 2016This immigrant clash-of-generations set-up risks falling into cliché, and sometimes does, but director Frank Lotito and the screenwriters find enough specificity and comedy in Smith's dilemma to keep the genial, family-friendly story afloat.
