	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"This is a desperately derivative film (...) Its borrowings are horribly obvious and too numerous to name (…) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"An appallingly clumsy and stupid take on drugs, kidnapping and suicide in suburbia (…) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United Kingdom	Olly Richards Empire	"A tragic waste of acting talent, with nothing new to say (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Scott Foundas Variety	"An insufferable, self-conscious cult movie, 'The Chumscrubber' smugly heaps on half-baked ideas about media violence, the homogeneity of suburbia and the disintegration of the American family"	NEG
United States	Keith Phipps AV Club	"The film takes potshots at characters so broadly drawn and so defined by a single trait that they barely register as human"	NEG
United States	Ed Gonzalez Slant	"A preposterously pitched, joylessly chic vision of lily-white suburbia (…) Rating: ★ (out of 4)"	NEG
