This powerful, funny romantic drama neatly integrates the dilemmas of a girl in love, the girl she loves, a boy who also loves that girl, and that girl's sister.

While the storyline has few surprises, the central performances create a touching relationship, despite the suspicion that the male writer/director's interest in the subject is slightly dubious, or at least tokenistic.

Dahlstrom and especially Liljeberg are first-rate.

High school, small town, teenagers in hormone hell -- or is that heaven?

Rick Groen, Globe and Mail
Fresh

A completely charming reality-based romantic fantasy, both sweet-natured and sympathetic.
