	Author	Review
United States	David Wiegand SFGATE	"Cox not only plays the central character of Dr. Frank N Furter, but she also nearly takes complete ownership of the entire production and would succeed if it weren’t for terrific work by the other cast members."	POS
United States	Sonia Saraiya Variety	"'Rocky Horror' despite a few solid performances, appears to entirely misapprehend the appeal of the original film (...) It’s not freaky, or scary, or erotic, or even particularly weird (...) The highlight is Laverne Cox."	NEU
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"Laverne Cox makes an acceptable Frank-n-Furter, but Kenny Ortega's new 'Rocky Horror Picture Show' for Fox lacks any cult appeal."	NEU
United States	Neil Genzlinger The New York Times	"Although it’s moderately entertaining at times, it never makes clear why it needed to be attempted."	NEU
United States	Robert Bianco USA Today	"This Fox remake is briskly staged and competently done, but it's haunted by a sterility and a forced cheerfulness that goes against the show's grain. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)"	NEU
