  1. Paolo Virzi's film looks at school as the microcosm of society and at fathers too self-absorbed to be there for their daughters. He combines the themes played in "Mean Girls" and "Look at Me" and makes them vibrant.

    Pitch-perfect performances and a light-handed but razor-sharp script keep this satire brisk and biting.

    Despite outward appearances, Paolo Virzi's utterly charming fable is actually a razor-sharp political satire.
  4. Ultimately neither funny nor touching enough to make much of an impact, but it does offer many small, insightful moments along the way.

    A touching and funny movie, cast largely with young teenagers. I much preferred this film to "Mean Girls," which has some similar elements. If you don't mind subtitles check out this film. Expand

    Other than Caterina, there wasn't one charachter in this movie that was likeable. By the end I was hoping they would all disappear.
