An earnest, if romanticized, examination of the American class system in the late 1970s and early 1980s, and the eternally confounding politics of acceptance and exclusion.
Greg Quill, Toronto Star

Travels in some unexpected, thoughtful directions.

There are some things to like about The Education of Charlie Banks, but also plenty that detracts from what could be an interesting story.
Ben Mankiewicz, At the Movies

You take one scene that doesn't quite get there followed by another scene that doesn't quite get there, all of a sudden you've got a movie that doesn't quite get there.
