I hope what they all got paid made it worth the bother.
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
Rotten
Bouncy musical numbers and plenty of social concern, but the star, regrettably, is on autopilot.
Trevor Johnston, Time Out
Rotten
The sequel suffers from a lame, saccharine premise and a fatally earnest manner.
Caryn James, New York Times
Rotten
This is another one of those dreary retreads about a bunch of kids with no faith in themselves, and about how an inspiring teacher coaches them into the State Finals, where they upset the snobs from the rich school.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
