Metacritic reviews

Unashamedly positive look at the rise of the '60s counterculture.

Too bad the movie about him is just as flawed.

Scrappy and rambling and overly earnest.

Won't work until the film comes out on video.

Vincent D'Onofrio does capture Hoffman's charisma and nuttiness - and he's the only reason to resist the temptation to skip this exasperating movie.

A valiant but seriously flawed attempt to belie the notion that if you remember what you did in the '60s, you weren't there.

Comes across as artificial.

Misshapen and obfuscating biopic.

The disgrace of Steal This Movie isn't just that it fails to do justice to its subject, but that, as a movie, it's barely competent.

At once simple-mindedly didactic and utterly chaotic, Steal This Movie! is interspersed with fake headlines and botched history.
