Very boring movie. Only the last 20 minutes or something are really cool. *snore*

"The film exhorts a sense of nostalgia for the stressful trials of youth." - Rob Humanick

I haven't seen any Japanese comedies untill now and I'm quite satisfied with this one. Although everything is quite slow paced, it is made fairly good. There are quite few sharp cuts between some scenes and some of them could have soundtrack. Acting is miles ahead if we'd compare this movie with almost any american one in same genre. I'd recommend it to all who love Asian movies. Or you're just desperate to see teen comedy about rock band preparing for gig and is tired of american crap.

The perfect high school movie, capturing all the fear, insecurity, and triumph that comes with pursuing ones dreams and first loves. The punk attitude of the music is great and all the subtlety and side stories were extremely well-realized. Charming all the way through with a lot humor and catchy tunes; the band was fantastic.

Linda Linda Linda ist an alright flick that suffers from one major drawback: It's anime offshot K-ON! handles basically the same story, but moves at such a brazingly breakneck speed that it makes its reallife counterpart feel cumbersome and sluggish in direct comparison. Watch the show instead.

Cute girls singing cute songs. I liked everything about this movie. Bright art direction, everyday high school awkwardness peppered with subtle humor, and the satisfaction of seeing the band grow from its choppy beginning to its explosive live performance. It's a little slow, but I was smiling the whole time.

A nice, harmless film which allows its characters to grow organically and at their own pace, with no great melodrama or plot points forcing them to an end. The subtle story may not have enough pace and content for some, and can appear repetitive. The sound is also quite poorly recorded and mixed. However it is worth persisting with for the characters. Lightweight, but very human.

A little on the slow side, but the last 15 minutes or so was awesome! Loved the music and performances, been singing the song for weeks after watching this.

This is a true crowd pleaser. The deadpan humor is great, direction and photography are top notch, and the music will be stuck in your head for weeks. It's not perfect: the acting from the young supporting cast is a little uneven, and the pacing of the first half hour is awkward. Still, this movie is easy to recommend and stands up well to multiple viewings.

Completely charming. The Japanese really seem to get it right when it comes to films about adolescence/young adulthood. The protagonists of Linda Linda Linda are fully-formed, normal individuals who are treated with dignity. No histrionics, no madcap adventures, no embarassing existential brooding. They're wholly genuine teenagers, very sympathetic in their everyday struggles, negotiating the social minefield that is high school. And the music (including the James Iha score) is dynamite, too.

Way too much fun. You can't watch this and not be right into the rock out ending.

Like this more than I probably should. Crushezzzz on Bae and Maeda.
