Another giggly gross-out comedy for teenagers, this one somewhat better than most by virtue of a more satisfying ending.

Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
Rotten

A crude piece of work, spottily acted and directed.

Geoff Andrew, Time Out
Rotten

It takes almost 30 intolerably slack minutes to set it up and get it rolling.

John Patterson, L.A. Weekly
Fresh

It casts actors who look plausible and treats sex with honesty and no apologies.

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
Rotten

Adam Herz's script is wildly uneven but occasionally quite funny.

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
