Baltimore SunDavid ZurawikApr 30, 2014

New York Daily NewsDavid BianculliApr 30, 2014
Season 1 Review: Miramax will release the winner's movie next year. Its value, at this moment, is a question mark, but Project Greenlight is an impressive exclamation mark. [28 Nov 2001, p.101]

Chicago Sun-TimesPhil RosenthalApr 30, 2014
Season 1 Review: It's hard to say from the series whether "Stolen Summer" will succeed as a movie, but it's abundantly clear that Project Greenlight works as television. [30 Nov 2001, p.59]

Houston ChronicleMike McDanielApr 30, 2014
Season 1 Review: Folks, it's often not a pretty sight. But as with a jackknifed 18-wheeler, we can't keep our eyes off of it. [1 Dec 2001, p.10]

VarietyPhil GalloApr 30, 2014
Season 1 Review: It's fly-on-the-wall moviemaking, a must-see for anyone hoping to break into the creative side of the film business. [30 Nov 2001, p.14]

Boston GlobeMatthew GilbertApr 30, 2014
Season 1 Review: Project Greenlight distinguishes itself with its surprisingly warts-and-all approach. As it progresses, we get to see the sort of naked-ego shots and bottom-line talk you'd expect Miramax and its mob to have kept under wraps. [30 Nov 2001, p.D1]

Pittsburgh Post-GazetteRob OwenApr 30, 2014
Season 1 Review: Much is written today about the products that come out of Hollywood, but rarely do we glimpse the drudgery that's involved in bringing movies to life. Project Greenlight offers a rare and unvarnished glimpse at the friction-filled cogs and gears that drive the Hollywood machine. [2 Dec 2001, p.TV-5]

Season 1 Review: The early episodes of Project Greenlight do a great job of demonstrating just how important access is in Hollywood. [2 Dec 2001, p.C04]

Newark Star-LedgerAlan SepinwallApr 30, 2014
Season 1 Review: For the most part, it's an eye-opening look at the business of show, with a lot of Hollywood color throughout. [29 Nov 2001, p.57]

Season 1 Review: An attempt as fascinating as it is frustrating. But fun to watch all the same. [30 Nov 2001, p.1E]
