      Laura Fries Variety The show has the frenetic energy born of heartfelt dedication. Sep 6, 2018 Full Review Belinda Acosta Austin Chronicle The result is laconic, often deadpan humor. Sep 6, 2018 Full Review Joel Stein TIME Magazine This show, about an eight-year-old who makes films and his mother (Paula Poundstone), is more than smart enough to make you wonder why it's on UPN. Sep 6, 2018 Full Review Jesse Hassenger PopMatters The drawings... are as simple as they can be, but still match the vocals' complex expressiveness. Cartoon voice acting is so deeply associated with cartoonishness that the stammering, low-key style of Home Movies is almost revolutionary. Sep 6, 2018 Full Review Scott D. Pierce Deseret News (Salt Lake City) Oh, there's still some very funny stuff here, but it's a few minutes of funny stuff spread over half an hour... It's low-key humor that can be hilarious. While not wall-to-wall laughs, there are enough to make it a half hour worth watching. Sep 6, 2018 Full Review Jason Zingale Bullz-Eye.com The characters never have straight or clean outlines, but rather squiggles that simulate movement. The animation is a moot point for the series though, which keeps the laughs rolling with biting dialogue throughout each 20-minute episode. Rated: 4/5 Sep 6, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews
