When it comes to constructive gay-themed material aimed at teens, perhaps half a loaf remains better than none.
Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
As a manifesto for tolerance and a contribution to greater social and gender harmony, this is an exercise all to the good. As a film, however, it's something of a snooze.
James Adams, Globe and Mail
Rotten
Its heart is in the right place, even if it is a sappy one.
Linda Barnard, Toronto Star

The film feels like a throwback, but it's at least a useful introduction to the subject.
