Critic Reviews of "Mr. Holland's Opus"
VarietyJanuary 29, 2007This idealized tribute to a charismatic teacher who devotes himself to music appreciation has the same old-fashioned texture and sticky sentimentality as Goodbye Mr. Chips (of 1939), but Dreyfuss gives an effective, surprisingly restrained performance
USA TodayJanuary 01, 2000An overwrought Disney weeper.
Capital Times (Madison, WI)April 21, 2006Holland may have been a failed composer, but he's a master at playing the heartstrings.
Fantastica DailyJanuary 23, 2006A touching, uplifting and life-affirming winner that makes it hard to avoid leaving the theater teary-eyed, with a lump in your throat.
TheMovieReport.comSeptember 10, 2005Who knew the director of Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead was capable of making a profoundly moving drama?
Nolan's Pop Culture ReviewApril 22, 2005One of Dreyfuss' best performances EVER.
