The New York TimesJanet Maslin
Grandview, U.S.A. is slight, but it has a good enough cast to keep it watchable. Read full review

It's pleasant enough, as a view of small-town Americana, but played very straight. Read full review

It is a small film, with small, and at times cliched, ideas about rural life, but there is a sweetness about it that is an appealing and refreshing change from the usual roller-coaster films that bombard audiences in the summer. Read full review

Washington PostGary Arnold
Grandview, U.S.A., shot in the picturesque small town of Pontiac, Ill., opens with some pleasantly misleading evocations of Breaking Away, then degenerates into one of those blithely cretinous entertainments that leave you despising characters you were presumably meant to like. [08 Aug 1984, p.F9]
