Critic Reviews

What a wasted opportunity.

-Richard RoeperFull Review

Would be easier to root for if it weren't so very pleased with itself.

-Justin ChangFull Review

A feeble call to arms, and inept entertainment to boot.

-Roger MooreFull Review

While a title card at the beginning of the picture says the story is inspired by true events, it really should read, 'Inspired by another film.'

-Lisa RoseFull Review

Filmmaker Josh Stolberg claims to have been inspired by real-life events, but mostly he ineptly rips off other movies and wastes a cast that includes Rosanna Arquette, Adam Arkin and Elizabeth Perkins.

-Lou Lumenick

You get the exhausting feeling that Stolberg is desperately trying to prove how cool he is.

-Elizabeth WeitzmanFull Review

An anti-Bush, pro-First Amendment, completely ridiculous fight-the-power comedy that happens to have been inspired by actual events.

-Terry Lawson

You know all those 'brainless high school comedies'? Here's what one would look like if it had brains.

-Roger EbertFull Review

This indie teen movie is like a cafeteria lunch tray: lots of little compartments, with nothing particularly appetizing in any of them.

-Sean Means

Well-meaning but woefully unconvincing.

-Sheri Linden

Josh Stolberg's mild-mannered satire imagines that teenage rebellion in the Bush era has gone soft.

-Stephen HoldenFull Review

A comedy so inane and tedious that it buries its premise and its various worthy points under too many arch and improbable shenanigans and endless dialogue, much of it seriously under-inspired.

-Kevin CrustFull Review

Short on real teenage angst and emotion, the film is long on caricatures.

-Jennifer FreyFull Review

Better than it has any right to be.

-Randy CordovaFull Review

The movie delivers little more than fast reflex laughs.

-Philip WuntchFull Review

Proceeds to rip off every teen flick from Heathers to Napoleon Dynamite.

-Drew TillmanFull Review

boy, does it kick goals! There's some real fun to be had here

-Clint Morris

The cast keeps it watchable, but it's not a flick you'll remember for more than 45 minutes.

-Scott WeinbergFull Review

Even after 18 years of seeing every movie that plays here, I'm still surprised by some films. I even gave this one conflicting ratings.

-Linda Cook

Why did anyone bother making a teen movie after Heathers? No, really, why?

-Full Review

For sheer nerve, I give it full marks, even if it can't quite overcome its limitations in other areas.

-Ken HankeFull Review

(They) let their political agenda blunt the laughs, or, conversely, let their comedic inclinations dilute the film's social message.

-Rob Thomas

Leaving the expression of 17 year-olds to the care of 35 year-old men is a good pathway to mediocrity, and a sure promise of insufferable, bogus screenwriting.

-Brian OrndorfFull Review

occasionally approaches a provocative topic... only to scurry back into the safety zone of slapstick and put-downs.

-James SanfordFull Review

The screenplay tries to shake too many trees and ends up preaching - stabbing at straw men rather than taking the time to investigate problems with the education system.

-Phil VillarrealFull Review

A muddled mess whose message gets lost in the confusion.

-Angel CohnFull Review

It's baffling how a movie that cries on the behalf of idealistic, misunderstood teenagers could portray its heroes so one-dimensionally and anyone on the opposite side as a ruthless Neanderthal.

-Piet Levy

Makes the mistake of thinking it's a lot funnier and a lot more clever than it actually is.

-Jeff ViceFull Review
