If given the choice between going to class and seeing the high-school comedy General Education, go with school.

Cary Darling, Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com
Rotten

Defiantly humorless, the comedy is little more than a grab-bag of familiar high school-film cliches populated with bland characters played by barely-there actors. It was clearly a labor of love for no one.

Barbara VanDenburgh, Arizona Republic
Rotten

The film is like a new colt tripping over itself, going off every which way ...

Marsha McCreadie, Village Voice
Rotten

Wavers between extreme silliness and unbearable earnestness.

Lou Lumenick, New York Post
Rotten

The lead character's sister is more interesting than he is, and she spends much of her screen time as a mute mime.

Neil Genzlinger, New York Times
