"Though slight and rather frail, it's still modestly entertaining...and LaBeouf is well worth watching throughout."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
2/5
"Project Greenlight's second "winner" is more like a second strike ... and not a ringing endorsement for contest-based filmmaking."
Netflix
James Rocchi

"If there is a delicate story of forgiveness, friendship and family buried somewhere in Erica Beeney's script, Potelle and Rankin haven't managed to find it under the throes of empty rebellion and painless triumph."

, which doesn't so much end as trail off into the credits."

Timothy Knight
"The Battle at Shaker Heights, is a genuine coming of age story that is captivating because of its lead star, Shia LaBeouf."
