Critic Reviews

  • Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly

    There's such a gaping discontinuity between her physical beauty and her vacant, gum-snapping personality that she's like a walking advertisement for everything that's right and wrong with America.

  • John Leland, Newsweek

    The summer's most compelling movie about teenagers.

  • Brian Lowry, Variety

    A fresh, disarmingly bright and at times explosively funny comedy well worth a trip to the mall, even if it eventually runs out of gas.

  • Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader

    Though this drifts at times as storytelling, it's mainly lightweight but personable fun.

  • , Time Out

    Silverstone makes Cher's insularity appealingly innocent (even in the midst of crisis, she can't resist checking out the latest fashion lines), and an attempted seduction scene is sweetly hopeless.

    Need to see it again, but think it was quite funny in a cheesy way.

  • Mike S


    Whatever happened to Alicia Silverstone? She was a pretty prominent actress in the 90's, but then suddenly vanished into thin air. Or maybe it's because I never watched any of the live-action Scooby Doo movies. Anyhow, this is a magically entertaining high school flick with… More
