DUELING CRITICS

"[It] is that rarity, a movie aimed at teens that doesn't insult their intelligence...The movie, directed economically by British helmer Clare Kilner, possesses an appealing off-centeredness"

- Kirk Honeycutt

"Hmmmm? Oh, sorry. (YAAAAWN). Uh, this teen love story...could be called a soap opera, if you wanted to insult opera. Or soap. Mindless and lazy...[it] is much more fun if you use it to catalog examples of ineptitude"

- John Anderson
