In the first 15 minutes, viewers may be rolling their eyes at these kids; by the end, they might be eager to re-watch that opening scene, to get to know them all over again. Read full review

Something of a wonder, a palm-size ball of banter and irony and earnestness that never stops rolling and almost never misses the sweet spots. Read full review

Sure, you've seen this story before, but this version has a freshness nonetheless. Read full review

Todd McCarthy

Oct 17, 2012

Feels slight and pretty ordinary by the end, with no edge or compelling insights, just a reasonable feel for teen attitudes and banter. Read full review

Sara Stewart

Oct 19, 2012

An inoffensive but bland ode to the talky high school movies of John Hughes and Cameron Crowe. Read full review

Dennis Harvey

Let your mind wander during this painfully generic teen-sex dramedy (trust us, it will), and there might be emotions worse than frustration in store. Read full review

Best film in this genre I've seen for a long time ..Sexy and Funny
The cast were excellent in their roles in fact I have also watched the lead character in Teen Wolf and this is quite a departure from the role he plays in that
