D-  "A dreary rehash of genre cliches...a vanity project if there ever was one."
-- Frank Swietek, ONE GUY'S OPINION

  "This miserable excuse of a movie runs on empty, believing Flatbush machismo will get it through."
-- Harry Haun, FILM JOURNAL INTERNATIONAL

2.5/5  "DeMeo is not without talent; he just needs better material."
-- Ken Fox, TV GUIDE'S MOVIE GUIDE

Cream of the Crop
ROTTEN 25%
  "On the whole, the movie lacks wit, feeling and believability to compensate for its incessant coarseness and banality."
-- Andrew Sarris, NEW YORK OBSERVER

3.5/5  "If there's nothing fresh about Wannabes, which was written by Mr. DeMeo, who produced and directed the film with Charles A. Addessi, much of the time the movie feels authentic."
-- Stephen Holden, NEW YORK TIMES

1/4  "In the era of The Sopranos, it feels painfully redundant and inauthentic."
-- Jonathan Foreman, NEW YORK POST

C-  "Despite all the talking, by the time the bloody climax arrives we still don't feel enough of an attachment to these guys to care one way or another."
-- Gary Dowell, DALLAS MORNING NEWS
