Globe and Mail

The Paperboy is southern Gothic wallowing in the swamp of low camp. And if the wallowing were deliberate, this might have been hugely funny.

There's something undeniably compelling about the cast's daringly go-for-broke performances... but Daniels fragments the narrative and throws in so many tricksy directorial touches that the whole thing becomes an annoyingly indulgent mess.

The Paperboy is not all bad, but it isn't all good either. I'm not quite sure what Daniels wanted his audience to walk away with.

The Paperboy bears some promise as a good-bad movie, but it unfolds as a bad-bad one.

It's a movie that seems to have a mild form of heatstroke: it's blurry, as if filmed long ago, and feverish, and the story wanders all over the place as if lost in a bayou. When it's over, you want to wipe your brow.

The sweaty, lurid, self-serious nonsense is hard to take seriously, but I'll say this much for the film: it ain't boring.

"The Paperboy" is one of those rare examples where you might wish the movie was less faithful to the book.
