The movie is a toxic buzz of sweetness that Duff's teen gal fans might lap up, while all others suffer through a prolonged sugar fit.

The premise is patently ridiculous, but the target audience of 12-year-old girls will be too charmed by the genre requisites to care.

Rotten
None of the leads convince or engage, and supporting characters are either gay stereotypes, routine little sisters or functional best friends.
Anna Smith, Time Out
Rotten
Like a Nike commercial without a shot of the sneakers.

[The] situation is mined mostly for mild chuckles and tepid sentiment.
