CRITICS OF "Mr. Holland's Opus"

Spirituality and Practice

Extraordinary movie about how a job can be transformed into a soul-satisfying vocation.

USA Today

An overwrought Disney weeper.

Doesn't hold up. The schmaltz doesn't work. What does "Play the sun" mean?

One of Dreyfuss' best performances EVER.

Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)

Yea, it is filled with cliches, but it still is an engaging outing.

TheMovieReport.com

Who knew the director of Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead was capable of making a profoundly moving drama?

September 10, 2005

Resource

Variety

This idealized tribute to a charismatic teacher who devotes himself to music appreciation has the same old-fashioned texture and sticky sentimentality as Goodbye Mr. Chips (of 1939), but Dreyfuss gives an effective, surprisingly restrained performance

January 29, 2007

Capital Times (Madison, WI)

Holland may have been a failed composer, but he's a master at playing the heartstrings.

April 21, 2006

Fantastica Daily

A touching, uplifting and life-affirming winner that makes it hard to avoid leaving the theater teary-eyed, with a lump in your throat.
