90A potent mixture of sentiment and grit, and it showcases the talents of its young principals.
-
70The film belongs to Jordan Brower, whose every appearance breaks one's heart, and makes some otherwise familiar material come alive.
-
20Never quite gets up to speed, lurching its way through a glossing, superficial take on street life and teenage sexuality.
-
20Hard to watch -- not because of its unflinching realism, but rather for its mawkish reliance on every boy hooker flick from "Midnight Cowboy" to "Johns."
