San Francisco Chronicle

A fresh, enlightening example of how to take a tragic American show-business story and make it funny, warm and terrifically entertaining.

Film Threat

This biopic is soulless, underwritten, over-acted and, worse, just plain dull.

Globe and Mail

A celebration of pop fantasies, a boyish rascal with a helium voice, and three pretty fools who fell in love with him.

Worth it for the music -- but only barely.

Los Angeles Times

Though Nava's soapy directing style makes Fools watchable enough in a campy way, the film's unsophisticated nature undermines its better qualities.

What made Frankie run? The movie clearly doesn't know.

Apollo Guide

Fails to bring anything new to what is rapidly becoming a genre unto itself (the 'talented but betrayed and flawed musical legend dead before their time' genre) making one wonder Why Did They Even Bother?

Larenz Tate is terrific recreating the excitement of Frankie's stage presence.

Too ill defined to emerge from the pack of box office also-rans.
