The film lacks the comedic charm of American Pie, but with its dark, hyper-sexualization of teens, it offers an engrossing if not soap opera-esque tale of self-discovery.
Gerrick Kennedy, Los Angeles Times

Dare feels a bit unfinished, at once overreaching and underrealized. But there is a lot of intelligence, and considerable daring, in the basic conceit.
A.O. Scott, New York Times

Dare is a high school coming-of-age film that dares to push the envelope. It doesn't always succeed, but that's not for lack of trying.
V.A. Musetto, New York Post
Rotten
The actors, all great camera subjects, help give director Adam Salky's overly pat movie a trace of confessional conviction.
