Critics' reviews
  • "'Newsies' was made with care and affection by choreographer-turned-director Kenny Ortega. But the writers have created cardboard cutouts instead of flesh-and-blood characters"
  • "'Newsies' drag is its predictable script.... It's not a bad hook, but the treatment is uninspired, despite a fairly engaging turn by Bale."
  • "It's mostly entertaining, and has some strong moments, but it lacks the special magic that a musical needs"
  • "Its intentions seem fairly modest, and so are its achievements. It's a modestly enjoyable diversion."
  • "'Newsies' becomes a string of set-pieces, some of which work, some of which don't, all barreling full-speed ahead toward its Teddy Roosevelt deus ex machina."
  • "'Newsies' is a long, halfhearted romp through what is made to seem a not terribly compelling chapter in New York City's history."
  • "As much as the film may try to peddle warmth and solidarity, it remains disturbingly cold and impersonal, limited by the formulaic writing of Bob Tzudiker and Noni White"
