Critic Reviews

For all its faults, the good-natured, quirky humour that this for the most part offers ultimately makes it very hard to dislike.Full Review

Caroline Westbrook
Empire

Insubstantial, predictable and often dull, it's a dismaying move from director Allen Moyle, who displayed a real grasp of pulp energy in 1990's "Pump Up the Volume".Full Review

TV Guide

The film exists for its shots of telegenic youngsters busting loose to a bankable soundtrack, and it's the cheesy dialogue, overstuffed plot, and predictable character arcs that come across as superfluous.Full Review

Nathan Rabin
The Onion A.V. Club

The movie is too blatant a throwback to crass '80s teen fodder to really work.Full Review

Ty Burr
Entertainment Weekly

If the movie is a lost cause, it may at least showcase actors who have better things ahead of them.Full Review
