Teen Beach Movie Reviews
Emily Ashby Common Sense Media
The push-and-pull between the two [main characters] is a delightful dynamic, setting the tone for other fantastic character interplays and some entertaining turns of events.
Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 2, 2013
Rob Owen Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
A more entertaining, clever musical than its generic title suggests.
Full Review | Aug 2, 2013
Mike Hale New York Times
The film's time-warp, movie-nerd conceit is just clever enough to keep you entertained.
Full Review | Aug 2, 2013
Hank Stuever Washington Post
In spite of my pasty self, there's something I liked about all the relentless mugging and frugging.
Full Review | Jul 23, 2013
Brian Lowry Variety
It's too bad the makers didn't do a slightly better job casting the key roles, but taken on its own terms the 95-minute Disney Channel original plays like a brightly colored beach blanket, albeit one that's a little rough around its sandy edges.

Tom Conroy Media Life
So we have a fundamentally earnest movie that mocks tongue-in-cheek movies for their earnestness.
Full Review | Jul 22, 2013
Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed
Keeps its eye firmly on paying tribute to the classic Beach movies, all with pretty great numbers that feel like they were written in the early sixties.
