- 80Time OutTime OutThere is a sense of déjà vu all right, but this is an extremely attractive valediction to youth, with farcical underpinnings ably handled by Reynolds.
- 70The New York TimesJanet MaslinThe New York TimesJanet MaslinKevin Reynolds, who wrote and directed Fandango, is for the most part making just another coming-of-age film. But at its best, his debut feature has an appealing boisterousness, and it successfully walks a fine line between sensitivity and swagger.
- 30Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasLos Angeles TimesKevin ThomasFandango overreaches badly and sinks under a heavy weight of symbolism, bathos and sheer preposterousness that no amount of humor and incident can redeem.
- Since FANDANGO never has anything to say about its well-worn themes, the film quickly becomes boring and predictable.
