Carrie Rickey, Philadelphia Inquirer

Camp often means a lack of feeling and generalized disdain; not so in "Spork," which has as much heart as "Sixteen Candles."
Kyle Smith, New York Post
Fresh
As uplifting stories of tolerance and self-discovery go, "Spork" has a messy appeal, but it's no "Hairspray."
Mike Hale, New York Times
Rotten
Ghuman might have managed to salvage the film from its weak script if he'd had a firmer grasp on tone, and a better melding of the mish-mash of pop culture references.
Ernest Hardy, Village Voice

For all its poignancy, "Spork" never loses sight of its goal to be zesty, sharp-witted fun.
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
