Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Uncompelling but moderately engaging.

fresh:
The film squeaks in its joints whenever it tries too hard to make a 'generational statement,' and may annoy you with its glibness, but it manages to hold one's interest -- surprisingly at times, given the lightweight characters.

rotten:
A laid-back look at youthful rootlessness which never really catches fire.

fresh:
The other actors share an easy, appealing rapport and a flair for dry understatement, which is the film's prevailing tone.

fresh:
In an era when many motion pictures are going for 'big,' it's nice to see well-known actors in a 'small' film like this.
