Grade

USA Today - Claudia Puig : The music by Outkast is great, and the rowdy, randy en masse dance sequences are riveting. The story, however, is rather thin and lacks focus. more...

|
Seattle Post-Intelligencer - Bill White : Choreography is ruined by MTV-editing. Scenes that are supposed to be funny are played like Def Jam stand-up comedy with the jokes taken out. more...

San Francisco Chronicle - Neva Chonin : ...comes alive only during the production numbers, which look and feel more like music videos than music as storytelling. more...

Rolling Stone - Peter Travers : ...not a movie with a clear sense of direction, a strong spine to support its fancy conceits or even a nodding acquaintance with the conventional. more...

New York Times - Manohla Dargis : The joint doesn¿t jump in the musical Idlewild; it just twitches and stumbles. more...

E! Online - Dezhda Mountz : This may be one of those cases in which the soundtrack is better than the movie. more...
