Critic Reviews

  • Jennie Punter, Globe and Mail

    Despite its shortcomings, Summerhood is an earnest effort from a first-time director who clearly enjoys stoking and poking at his campfire memories.

  • Peter Howell, Toronto Star

    On the plus side, he seems to have documented every single thing that happened to him. On the negative side, none of it was terribly exciting.

  • Liz Braun, Jam! Movies

    The movie has none of the awkwardness or clunky moments you might expect from a low-budget first feature.

  • Adam Nayman, eye WEEKLY

    Let the record show that it's better than Hot Tub Time Machine, though that's not much of a compliment.
