Top Critics Reviews

Mayer doesn't find a way to make the ritual traumas of adolescence feel new again.

rotten:
It is as if chunks of the film had landed on the editing-room floor in a desperate, last-minute attempt to trim its length. Just when its parts should come together, "As Cool as I Am" crumbles to bits.

Oh no: Claire Danes as the mom? Already? What's next, Chelsea Clinton for president?

rotten:
Simplistic plotting, pedestrian visuals and poorly-handled melodrama do lend the project a cheap, made-for-TV feel, which is underscored by the fact that Danes and Marsden don't seem obliged to turn in their best work.

fresh:
This coming-of-age drama might trade in familiar narrative developments, but its characterization is rather nuanced.
