Igby Slocumb, a rebellious and sarcastic 17-year-old boy, is at war with the stifling world of old money privilege he was born into. With a schizophrenic father, a self-absorbed, distant mother, and a shark-like young Republican big brother, Igby figures there must be a better life out there -- and sets about finding it.

fresh:
Good actors have a radar for juicy roles -- there's a plethora of characters in this picture, and not one of them is flat.

Holden Caulfield did it better.

In all, Steers has insured that this teenage film will be recognizable to teenagers but not limited to them.

rotten:
The film makes a fatal mistake: It asks us to care about a young man whose only apparent virtue is that he is not quite as unpleasant as some of the people in his life.

In its own floundering way, it gets to you. Just like Igby.
