A fantastically fun film even though it lacks lavish spectacle.

Reviews for Garage Days
...While the narrative is slight and trite, it is also well-observed

A cheery, cheeky, youthful lark that it trips over its Doc Martens in the first few scenes and never gets up.

Proyas and his cast obviously are having a very good time, infusing each scene with youthful energy and taking their audience along for the ride.

The movie has a lot of affection for these scruffy wannabes, and I liked the fact that they were not arrogant, aggressive types, but sort of average, with reasonable values and ambitions.

Top CriticThis movie could only work if the jokes were funny, and writers David Warner and Michael Udesky don't deliver the goods.

It is one of the most sheerly entertaining films of the season and has all the ingredients to become a major hit with audiences.

Director Alex Proyas tries to serve up a good-spirited romp, but by the time this one arrives at its welcome conclusion, you may well have had enough 'lively, eye-popping' filmmaking to last the rest of the year.

While Garage Days tries a bit too hard to be cool and slips into a darker place than you might expect, you can tell that everyone here is having a good time.

After spending 10 minutes in the company of such characters ... I began to wish that I was watching a Kenny G biopic instead.

Proyas is relentless in his attempts to infuse the material with visual zip, and in doing so, he only exacerbates its flimsiness.
08/05/03
Swatting flies with Buicks is effective, but it's overkill at best and showing off at its worst.
07/17/03
Proyas, an assured stylist, manages to elevate the film with a bright palette and an abundance of special effects.
07/19/03
joyous, diverting, and often childish
