Critic Reviews

30 Variety
There seems to be no bottom to Going Down, a lame also-ran in the rapidly declining teen gross-out comedy genre.
30 LA Weekly
Going Down is woefully lacking in the comedy (or the sex for that matter), and even some of the teens look a little long in the tooth.
20 Los Angeles Times
Teen sex comedies don't come more mindless than Joseph A. Pineda's Going Down, a movie so seriously underinspired it's hard to imagine it appealing to anyone but fantasy-prone middle schoolers who can barely wait to live it up like their older brothers and sisters.
