  • Critic Reviews of "La Bamba"

    Time Out
    July 07, 2010

    An enjoyable if slightly innocuous biopic based on the brief life and short-lived fame of teen rock'n'roll idol Richie Valens

    Variety
    March 26, 2009

    La Bamba is engrossing throughout and boasts numerous fine performances.

    New York Times
    June 12, 2003

    As Valens, Lou Diamond Phillips has a sweetness and sincerity that in no way diminish the toughness of his onstage persona. The role is blandly written, but Mr. Phillips gives Valens backbone.

    Washington Post
    January 01, 2000

    Predictably, there isn't a Ritchie blemish in sight. But the circumstances of Valens' life seem to beg this golden portrait.

    Chicago Sun-Times
    January 01, 2000

    This is a sincere, well-acted movie about the short life of a minor rock 'n' roll star, and by the time it's over we almost have the feeling Valens would have been surprised not to have died in a crash.

    Washington Post
    January 01, 2000

    Basically, it's a load of corn -- an up-from-the-basement account of a pop comet -- but the movie has an energetic, almost naive spirit.

    Cinema Crazed
    January 02, 2017

    A strong statement about the fleeting, fragility of life, and the bond between brothers.

    United Press International
    November 08, 2016

    This is a movie about music and it is the Valens sound, a unique blending of Latin rhythm and rock beat, that prevents La Bamba from being just another example of Hollywood hero worship.

    Common Sense Media
    January 01, 2011

    Sweet, sad rock-idol story for mature teens.

    Shadows on the Wall
    February 07, 2005

    solid, entertaining biopic

    Juicy Cerebellum
    April 30, 2003

    Fairly well put together film about the hispanic king of rock'n roll.

    eFilmCritic.com
    January 07, 2003

    Perhaps otherwise destined to be remembered as a talented footnote in musical history, Richie Valens is immortalized for the masses in this well-conceived and involving movie.
