Los Angeles Times
Terrific entertainment, full of wit and energy, alternately hilarious and serious -- and very sexy. - 75
New York Post
Lively, well-acted and directed with assurance. - 70
New Times (L.A.)
For those partial to sublimely happy endings there won't be a peep of complaint. Only us recalcitrant souls will be left wishing Punks had just a tad more spunk. - 70
The New York Times
The movie's warmth, and Mr. Gilliam's sober, likable performance sustain it through its ragged stretches and amateurish lapses. - 70
Variety
Slick, ingratiating and high-spirited enough to win over gay men of all colors. - 60
Village Voice
Thanks to an uninhibited screenplay and the easy, unforced chemistry of its ensemble cast, Punks is mostly good, snappy fun. - 50
New York Daily News
At its best when it embraces its true identity, as frivolous fun. - 50
