Critic Reviews

  • Lisa Alspector, Chicago Reader

    This self-styled self-reflexive comedy asks the question, just how stupid are teenagers?

  • Joe Leydon, Variety

    This is one sharp pussycat.

  • Wally Hammond, Time Out

    Aaaaah, what a classic!

  • Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

    Their cool-to-be-cruel stance is too hip for the room and a likely turnoff for preteen girls who don't like fluff balls laced with bile.

  • Jane Dark, Village Voice

    When on work release from the Von Trier festival, I like such cheap thrills.

    This is a fun movie.
