All the Boys Love Mandy Lane is not a missing masterpiece; rather it is a small, tightly coiled spellbinder. Read full review

Neither disposable nor a long-lost masterpiece, she might not be loved by all the boys, but she's still worth a Friday night date. Read full review

Levine shows some of the promise that would serve him so well later, but beyond an intriguing look and an initial attempt to put a new spin on the teen-horror genre, “Mandy Lane” winds up being pretty conventional. Read full review

Variety - Todd McCarthy

A partly smart, mostly dumb addition to the teen horror sweepstakes -- smart in how it neatly catches the petty, hurtful, sexy and druggy aspects of high school life, dumb in how it makes absolutely no sense once its resolution is known. Read full review

Mandy Lane does eventually build to a whiplash twist ending, but it's too little, too late — much like the film itself. Here's a case where the backstory is more interesting than the movie. Read full review

New York Daily News - Jordan Hoffman

Despite early promise for a semi-interesting examination of teenage obsession, the film devolves into a standard, and not thrilling, body-count builder. And the “twist” ending is one of the more annoying in recent memory. Read full review

Observer - Rex Reed

Smutty and grotesque little sex parody. Read full review

But the ending that truly sets the film for being one of the better horror movies this year, it is although predictable throughout and similar to other slasher horror movies, it is twisted and new, it can become a cult classic… Expand

This amoral film turns elements of horror inside out while depicting a particularly relevant and contemporary view of teenage sexuality. The image of boys, girls, men and women all leering at the gorgeous and perfect Mandy Lane is a repugnant dismissal of our obsession with youth and beauty the our wish to deflower that perfection. ALL THE BOYS LOVE MANDY LANE is an exciting and insightful film that is quite beautifully directed and shot. A wonderful surprise. Bravo!… Expand

Here's just how bad this film is; I saw it a year ago; on YouTube, and it was posted by the current distributor.

All The Boys Love Mandy Lane is nothing but a white-trash remake of every prime horror film. Amber Heard is a decent actress, and she is the only actress to really do the film any good, everyone else either can't act for crap, or they just seem uninterested. One thing in the film I absolutely hated was the look of the film; it looks like they just found some old horror flick from the early 70's and just put it theaters without remastering it. The gritty look of the film was both disgusting and distracting, and overall the film's biggest flaw, right next to the acting.

The film is directed by Jonathan Levine, who is actually a very good director, director of such titles as The Wackness and 50/50, but he was just too early in his career for this film, everyone was. It's not worth going to a theater for the expierience, just watch it on YouTube like I did, I give it a 4/10… Expand

There are moments in the adolescence when a boy gets so infatuated by a girl that it seems he has never seen a woman in his life, but there are girls who know how to take advantage of it.

This is, roughly, the theme of this film, where a teenager girl seduces several boys with rather dubious intentions. Nothing new, therefore. It's just another teen movie, full of sexual cues (direct or veiled), violence and stereotypical characters that exist only to die. What I don't understand is why Mandy Lane appears as an irresistible and seductive woman when, in fact, she is just a girl who loves to tease the boys. Do boys love being treated like idiots? The movie tries to surprise at the end with a plot twist, but the attentive viewer already foresaw it for some time. Amber Heard is excellent at her character and could have done better if she had received more dense and consistent material to work with. The rest of the cast is on the borderline between the acceptable and the mediocre. This film lacked a better development of the plot and the characters, so it all seems a bit meaningless.… Expand

It is a catalogue of bad actors reading from a bad script, performing formulaic death scenes. The more I watched, the more frustrated I became with the film, and I became even more frustrated with the modern-day horror genre as a whole.

The film conforms to the usual dull premise of any other horror film or slasher flick: a bunch of drugged-up, alcoholic, sex-obsessed sluts and man-whores, with occasionally one withdrawn character - usually and in this case female - who becomes the focal point of the piece. Each of the other characters are picked off one at a time. I mean, surely this isn't meant to be scary. We aren't supposed to feel sympathy for the characters. The film is designed in order to give the audience a big cheer when one of the sluts or man-whores meets his or her well-deserved demise. If the film was truly scary, it would feature well-meaning, innocent humans to whom bad things happen. But no, we have to sit and watch completely unlikeable people, whose stupidity and unpleasantness leads them to an end that nobody even cares about. What's the point?

On the somewhat positive side, this films offers an interesting twist towards the end of the film, before taking it one twist too far and driving the script back into nonsense, and the scenery certainly is beautiful. But that's it. And trust me, these two positives pale significantly in comparison to the vast list of negatives. Don't watch it.… Expand

After a long wait (and a whole lot of complications), "All the Boys Love Mandy Lane" was finally released and the wait wasn't worth it.

To put it simply, the movie is boring and the story wants to be a teen slasher from the 70s and 80s but it doesn't feel like putting in the effort--the twist ending is painfully obvious before the first teen gets slashed. Additionally, the film just looks sloppy. While I get they are going for the grindhouse, low-budget look but with an already lazy style and lifeless actors, it makes the film look cheap rather than an homage to something like "Texas Chainsaw Massacre." Finally, the actors are just absolutely terrible. Amber Heard is lifeless and isn't providing any rhyme or reason for why her character Mandy Lane is so desired by every man who sees them. Heard thinks playing the part of a girl that everyone wants means just smiling sheepishly and playing with your hair but, in the end, she just looked like a cardboard cut-out that the rest of the actors just pretended was actually there...but the movie will try to compensate for that by constantly filming her in slo-mo and making sure the sun is shining behind her and I guess that means she's hot. In the end, "Mandy Lane" is just boring and its laziness is very apparent.… Expand
