Credit Gondry, like Tocqueville before him, with at least re-examining tired cliches and scraping the rust off stereotypes.

Rick Groen, Globe and Mail
Rotten

An occasionally interesting glimpse into the lives of a diverse group of urban teens and their struggles, but also a film that's overly long and often annoying.

Linda Barnard, Toronto Star

All of the kids are good in their roles, mostly as characters one assumes resemble themselves. And as any actor will tell you, playing yourself is one of the toughest gigs around.

Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic
Rotten

Gondry has talent, and I think he enjoyed being with these youngsters, but the film suffers in trying to impose something vaguely like a story on a framework that boils down to teen high jinks during a bus ride.

Walter V. Addiego, San Francisco Chronicle
Rotten

"The We and the I" is a collection of very thin stories, many of which feel incomplete.

John Hartl, Seattle Times
