Critic Reviews

An across-the-board delight featuring a spot-on ensemble cast that treats the most awkward and embarrassing moments in the rites of passage with affectionate hilarity.Full Review

Kevin Thomas
Los Angeles Times

Famuyiwa's dialogue is easygoing and witty, and the warmhearted comic performances mesh beautifully.Full Review

Stephen Holden
The New York Times

Feels a little uncertain, as if it's moving from present to past under the demands of a screenplay rather than because it really feels that way. But the growing-up stuff is kind of wonderful.Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

A genial story of friendship among three young African-American men that gets far on charm even when the cinema technique falters and stalls.Full Review

Lisa Schwarzbaum
Entertainment Weekly

It's an engaging recollection that's more sweet than bittersweet, tempered by an eagerness to please that pulls us into its remembrances of things past.Full Review
