Chicago Sun-Times
Provides an untidy and frustrating but never boring look at his life and times.
63
USA Today
A film dealing fully with Hoffman's final years might have had a lot more punch.

Boston Globe
An earnest but ultimately scattered effort to put Yippie radical Abbie Hoffman's best foot posthumously forward.
58
Entertainment Weekly
Scrappy and rambling and overly earnest.
50
Los Angeles Times
There might have been a better, more involving method of telling Hoffman's story, but it is expressed with a firm sense of commitment to accuracy and authenticity.

Won't work until the film comes out on video.

New York Daily News
An admiring but overly simplified walk down memory lane.

Mr. Showbiz
Never better than middling, despite its best intentions.
40
Likable but muddled screen biography.
40
It couldn't be any less revolutionary in style. It is straighter than a guitar string.
