[S]imultaneously flat and cartoonish...April 04, 2001
The movie musical is practically a dead horse in Hollywood, and The Fantasticks does little to kick it back to life.July 12, 2006
Truth to tell, it's exactly the kind of musical pointed out by people who say they just don't like musicals.March 23, 2001
The musical scenes in The Fantasticks crackle with intimacy.January 04, 2002
It's a trifle, but was pleasantly presented and I found it to be an adequate though not a scintillating production.January 01, 2000
An underpopulated, cliched Romeo-and-Juliet affair that only comes to life during its song sequences.May 04, 2010
