	Media	Author	Review
		Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	"Most of [Johnson]'s films are forgettable nonsense and NONE of them is as compelling and rich in material as Johnson’s own life story (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"
		Alan Sepinwall Rolling Stone	"Young Rock isn’t wildly funny in the early going, but feels as if the laughs will grow bigger the better we get to know the characters (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Allison Shoemaker rogerebert.com	"The desire to do all things at once all but ensures that few aspects of the story get the time necessary to really engage viewers (...) when “Young Rock” stops long enough to focus on any one story, it’s handled pretty well"
		Daniel D'Addario Variety	"[It] is amiable and pleasant, if consistently buffed to a sheen worthy of an image-conscious celebrity
		Brian Lowry CNN	"[It] might have worked better as a movie (...) To call this a vanity project would be an understatement, but Johnson's inherent likability goes a long way"
		Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"Nobody would say that The Rock is giving a bad performance as The Rock in Young Rock, but he's a distraction and a dilution in a show that deserved to have the chance to stand on its own merits."
		Jen Chaney Vulture	"As charming as Johnson is, the portions of the show that focus on him as a grown-up are the weakest part of what is an otherwise sweet and appealing family comedy"
		Joel Keller Decider	"Young Rock starts off well and it feels like it’ll settle in to a nice family vibe once it gets into a groove with its format."
		Ben Travers IndieWire	"Over-stuffed and self-aggrandizing, four different versions of The Rock explain why he's the president we need in a strange sitcom that somehow still clicks."
		Allison Keene Paste Magazine	"A cute and nostalgic network TV journey through a celebrity’s early years would probably not work under any other circumstances than those of Young Rock"
