Happily, Fey and Waters gently tweak the studios' usual high-gloss caricature of adolescence and aim for acutely hilarious and surprisingly empathic sociology.
Jessica Winter, Time Out

A smart little teen picture that, for a change, actually features recognizable teens.
Peter Rainer, New York Magazine/Vulture
