Critic Reviews

  • Sheri Linden, Hollywood Reporter

    Ineptitude abounds in this ham-fisted thirteen wannabe.

  • Robert Koehler, Variety

    Too inconsequential and too earnest to belong in the So Bad It's Good category; rather, it's merely bad.

  • Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times

    Silly, often unintentionally hilarious potboiler.

  • Brent Simon, Entertainment Today

    A poorly executed DIY production replete with all the un-tethered irresponsibility and overly demonstrative signifiers one would expect.

  • Chuck Wilson, L.A. Weekly

    Lee has heaped so many social ills on his heroine that it's difficult to buy any of it.
