Watch Hunky Dory Movie Online No Survey Relive the summer of 1976 in this heartwarming British musical from the producer of Billy Elliot. Minnie Driver plays Viv, a fiery high school drama teacher determined to fire up her hormonal, apathetic students by putting on the best end-of-the-year show the school has ever seen... a glam rock-infused musical version of Shakespeare's The Tempest. But as the Welsh summer begins to heat up, can she compete with the typical teenage distractions of sex and drugs with some great rock and roll? Find out in this fantastic, rousing film- but remove all fears of the typical teen-pop covered high school musicals from your minds, as the songs in this film are from legendary artists like David Bowie, The Beach Boys, ELO, and The Byrds.

Review For Hunky Dory |
Surprisingly, it's not bad. Pete Vonder Haar-Village Voice
Like a retro version of High School Musical with less charm. Leslie Felperin-Variety
Heartfelt interpretations of Seventies rock are only part of the appeal of nostalgia-drenched high school drama. John DeFore-Hollywood Reporter
When it's indulging in glammed-up musical sequences, Hunky Dory comes to life; everything else couldn't seem less inspiring. Keith Phipps-Time Out New York
It's pleasant, forgettably feelgood and unabashedly hackneyed, doing everything you expect it to - nothing more, nothing less. Aaron Yap-Flicks.co.nz
Dory has a spark that never catches fire, leaving the bulk of its personality up to Driver and her interesting take on the often strange moods of this coming-of-age musical drama. Brian Orndorf-Blu-ray.com
There's at least one sub-plot too many, but audiences willing to suspend disbelief will be swept up as the greatest high school band in the history of music perform an impeccable selection of hits. Paul Gallagher-The List
The earnest playing of the orchestra and the lo-fi warbling touch the heart in a way that a more polished production might not. Anthony Quinn-Independent
If Hunky is hellishly clunky, it's also good-hearted and well-intentioned with some laughs and decent tunes. Siobhan Synnot-Scotsman
The kids' final performance is a high note -- rousing and true; final proof that you don't need tidy resolutions to spin a lasting memory. Stella Papamichael-Digital Spy
It's all very lovely and very sad. Cynics need not apply. Aging softies will almost certainly yield to Evans's warm sensibilities. Donald Clarke-Irish Times
Too gentle to have any impact, as uncertain of what it will ultimately be as its young subjects are of themselves. William Goss-The Playlist
Driver, dialling down her movie star glamour and sporting a credible Welsh accent, is winningly down to earth. Jason Best-Movie Talk
The movie isn't bad. Driver is an attractive presence, and it isn't her fault that at times she appears unbearably smug and self-righteous. Philip French-Observer [UK]
Despite the good dialogue the script is lacking depth. Donald Munro-Eye for Film
Everything will not be quite so Hunky Dory at the box office has it blends into the background of serviceable low-budget Brit flicks. Lisa Giles-Keddie-Real.com
Although the film loses focus for a while around two-thirds of the way in, it ends as a well-rounded study of youthful apathy, anger and ambition mixed in with a degree of sexual awakening appropriate for the time. Graham Young-Birmingham Mail
A fluffy film about nothing, Minnie Driver and some talented kids keep the cheerful, sunny affair afloat but much like a lazy summer, it's quickly forgotten once it's over. -Film4
Minnie Driver as sweary/smokey inspirational teacher aside, not one destined for the annals of cinema. David Jenkins-Little White Lies
The trials and tribulations are familiar and the resolution predictable, but the film has a sweetness and sincerity that's charming. -Liverpool Echo
