This movie has definitely made him a great movie star. Tom had managed well to instill a youthful, restless spirit, vulnerability, and awkwardness into his role which was the demand of the script. Tom Holland has come as a likable and adorable teen actor.

The New York Times Manohla Dargis said:

“Mr. Holland looks and sounds more like a teen than the actors who’ve previously suited up for this series, and he has fine support from a cast that includes Jacob Batalon as Peter’s best friend. Other good company includes Donald Glover, as a wrong-time, wrong-place criminal, and Martin Starr, who plays his teacher role with perfect deadpan timing.”
