Reviews for Garage Days
Top CriticAlex Proyas, coming off darker material, sets himself a huge challenge in taking on a genre that requires outcomes of dreams satisfied. It’s an American genre. He subverts it. And it isn’t totally successful, but the flaws are almost too small to identify

...While the narrative is slight and trite, it is also well-observed

A fantastically fun film even though it lacks lavish spectacle.

I wouldn't want to hang out with these cats and I certainly wouldn't want them practicing in my garage, it's bad enough to sit through their movie.

Its sense of fun is infectious enough that it doesn't make a huge difference that it's light on the story side. Coupled with the visual style and the top-notch choice of music, it makes for a fun, if lightweight, experience.

Proyas is relentless in his attempts to infuse the material with visual zip, and in doing so, he only exacerbates its flimsiness.

While the plot line may not be overly complicated and Lynchian, it is in no way formulaic or simple either. Proyas leaves you wanting you to see his characters thrive, not necessarily as a band, but as friends.

The music in it is uniformly lousy, but one doesn't notice because everything surrounding it s even worse.
07/29/03
Its tricksy stylishness... is more of a distraction than a tonic for the feeling that we’ve seen all this before.
07/28/03
Proyas strays from the formula just often enough to keep us on our toes. The remainder is too slight and harmless to really condemn… even when it slips into cliché.
07/21/03
...[Alex Proyas'] over-the-top sensibility keeps this admittedly routine storyline from becoming an all-out bore.
07/20/03
Proyas, an assured stylist, manages to elevate the film with a bright palette and an abundance of special effects.
