They must clear their names, even if it means losing fame and fortune.

This self-styled self-reflexive comedy asks the question, just how stupid are teenagers?

This is one sharp pussycat.

Aaaaah, what a classic!

Their cool-to-be-cruel stance is too hip for the room and a likely turnoff for preteen girls who don't like fluff balls laced with bile.

When on work release from the Von Trier festival, I like such cheap thrills.
