Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Lighter and less filling than usual.
– Rita Kempley,
Washington Post,
1 Jan 2000
fresh:
The film creates a perfect embodiment of every adolescent's nightmare.
– Janet Maslin,
New York Times,
20 May 2003

– Derek Adams,

A simple, lovely and thoughtful teenage story that occasionally shines due to fine characterizations and lucid dialog.
