For us grinchy adults out there without children to sedate, the whole thing feels slightly less like a movie than like the filmed record of a mutiny at a juvie talent agency. Full Review

Joe Leydon, Variety
Despite its absurdly optimistic title, Standing Ovation deserves a resounding chorus of boos, and maybe a few well-aimed tomatoes. Full Review

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

Carrie Rickey, Philadelphia Inquirer
A glittery string of backstage conventions. Backstabbing! Pushy parents! Precocious stars! Blind ambition! But if you're a tween (and don't watch Glee), the cliches will be new to you. Full Review

Jackie K. Cooper, jackiekcooper.com
The cast is energetic but the talent is amateurish and the script is dead on arrival. Full Review

William Goss, Cinematical
Leaves one wistful for the cable-level adequacy of Disney Channel's High School Musical films. Full Review
