Adventures of Power Reviews
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
It's not the rough edges that bother here; it's the desperate attempt to capture Napoleon Dynamite's success by relying on oddball characters and off-the-wall scenarios.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
So would-be hip it hurts, Adventures of Power is barely watchable, despite the presence of such pros as Michael McKean and Jane Lynch.
Common Sense Media
James Rocchi
Underdog comedy is no Napoleon Dynamite.
ColeSmithey.com
Cole Smithey
Writer/director/actor Ari Gold has made a competent student film that would graduate him from any film school with flying colors--that's to say, here is an example of a filmmaker who hasn't yet begun to find his own voice.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Not even the always reliable talents of McKean and Lynch can help pull this comedy out of its ironic slump.
Salt Lake Tribune
Sean P. Means
Gold attempts to show Power as a "Napoleon Dynamite"-like charmer, but Gold's spastic performance induces more cringes than smiles.
Slant Magazine
Andrew Schenker
Gold's screenplay is a tad too ambitious for its thin comic premise.
Cinematical
Scott Weinberg
A pretty agonizing affair.
Boxoffice Magazine
Matthew Nestel
The playful plot with go-figure ending is bubbly, and the mechanics of the film are on-point for the most part.
Chicago Reader
Cliff Doerksen
It's such a fine line between clever and stupid, and this Spinal Tap-caliber cult item maintains a perfect balance.
Los Angeles Times
Michael Ordoña
Gold places his fond comedy in the '80s with all the cinematic skill of early MTV.
Hollywood Reporter
Sheri Linden
The rhythm's off in this goofy tale of an air-drumming underdog.
New York Times
Neil Genzlinger
Your enjoyment of Adventures of Power will be proportional to your tolerance for the one-joke phenomenon of air drumming.
Village Voice
Michelle Orange
The film -- despite some successful goofs and a defiantly dorky Phil Collins tribute -- can't quite win for trying.
Variety
Peter Debruge
With its quirky costume and production design choices, self-indulgent pic gives Wes Anderson haters an easy new target.
ChaseWhale.com
Chase Whale
Writer-director-star Ari Gold understands the diversity of humor and does a superb job balancing the absurd with the laugh out loud funny. He just gets it.
Deseret News (Salt Lake City)
Jeff Vice
The film's penchant for dorky nostalgia -- especially '70s and '80s-era music -- quickly becomes irritating. It deserves a real tongue-lashing for trying to re-introduce the inexplicable Mr. Mister hit "Kyrie" into the American consciousness.
New York Press
Matthew Connolly
For all the cheap shots in Gold's script, Adventures of Power views air-drumming with a surprising affection.
