The movie is full of nonsensical plot twists, embarrassingly broad performances and unappealing characters.
Mark Caro, Chicago Tribune
Rotten
Simply put, absolutely none of it works. The movie utterly fails to set a foundation for its dark fantasy, effectively turning every character into a moron.
Jeff Shannon, Seattle Times
Rotten
My Boyfriend's Back is obviously aiming for the subversive high school yuks of 1989's Heathers, but the story line never bothers to make sense.

Napkin-thin pic starts falling apart in the first reel.
