- 60Time OutJoshua RothkopfTime OutJoshua RothkopfForgive the film its "Napoleon Dynamite" overquirk; a loving god is watching all, genuflected to on bedroom-wall posters and seen in the film's final five minutes--and if you're not a Rush fan, this is not your movie
- 50VarietyVarietyAbsurdist underdog yarn that feels positively Martian in its brand of tom-tomfoolery. Like a "Saturday Night Live" sketch gone on too long, Ari Gold's feature debut will tax unsuspecting viewers, while sending those on Gold's special wavelength into seizures of delight.
- 50Village VoiceVillage VoiceThe film--despite some successful goofs and a defiantly dorky Phil Collins tribute--can't quite win for trying.
- 50The New York TimesNeil GenzlingerThe New York TimesNeil GenzlingerSprinkled with moderately amusing comic moments, but basically your enjoyment of this film will be proportional to your tolerance for the one-joke phenomenon of air drumming.
- 50The Hollywood ReporterThe Hollywood ReporterAs a spoof of against-all-odds sports movies, "Power" has its moments. But for most of its running time, it buys into the feel-good formula, aiming to blend silliness and social issues into an inspirational tale
- Adventures of Power just may teach the world that, as hard as it is to catch the wind, it's harder still to drum the air.
- 40New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanNew York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanMostly, though, you'll appreciate Grenier, who approaches this minor project with hilarious and generous abandon.
- 30Austin ChronicleMarjorie BaumgartenAustin ChronicleMarjorie BaumgartenNot even the always reliable talents of McKean and Lynch can help pull this comedy out of its ironic slump.
- 25New York PostLou LumenickNew York PostLou LumenickBarely watchable, despite the presence of such pros as Michael McKean and Jane Lynch.
