The idea here isn't to titillate with tawdry teen hormones, but to offer an outlet for all that mental distress young people take on while trying to find their place in the world.

When it comes to constructive gay-themed material aimed at teens, perhaps half a loaf remains better than none.
Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
As a manifesto for tolerance and a contribution to greater social and gender harmony, this is an exercise all to the good. As a film, however, it's something of a snooze.
James Adams, Globe and Mail
Rotten
Its heart is in the right place, even if it is a sappy one.
Linda Barnard, Toronto Star

The film feels like a throwback, but it's at least a useful introduction to the subject.
Neil Genzlinger, New York Times
