The New York Times Dana Stevens
It's surely the best depiction of teenage eccentricity since "Rushmore," and its incisive satire of the boredom and conformity that rule our thrill-seeking, individualistic land, and also its question-mark ending, reminded me of "The Graduate."

Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert
I wanted to hug this movie. It takes such a risky journey and never steps wrong. It creates specific, original, believable, lovable characters, and meanders with them through their inconsolable days, never losing its sense of humor.

Entertainment Weekly Owen Gleiberman
A buoyant, funny, and disarmingly humane comedy of beautiful losers in revolt.

Rolling Stone Peter Travers
Let the unsettling secrets of this outrageously funny and steadily engrossing meditation on the life of two high school misfits after graduation catch you by surprise. It's that good.

A character so real and poignant (yet hysterically funny), she'll linger for months or years.

Buscemi makes Seymour into a character you simply want to see again and again. He's the most appealing, amusing "loser" anyone could ever share old records with.

Smart, surpassingly odd, extremely funny and mysteriously endearing at the same time.

Ghost World is above all a disquieting consciousness-raiser.

San Francisco Chronicle
Bests most other teen comedies right off the bat. If you got a kick out of "Crumb," this film will crack you up.
