Critic Reviews

  • Christopher Lloyd, Sarasota Herald-Tribune

    It's hard to think of another movie where so many young performers have so forcefully announced themselves to the world.

  • Randy White, Common Sense Media

    A realistic look at a teen's coming-of-age.

  • Steve Crum, Kansas City Kansan

    Haim is engaging in this tale of a lonely teen.

  • Michael Szymanski, Zap2it.com

    Watch the fall of Corey Haim!

  • Clint Morris, Moviehole

    Highly entertaining. A movie for the underdog in all of us.

    Sweet coming of age comedy that perfectly captures the awkward high school years. Shatters "teen movie" clichés every step of the way. Corey Haim, who heads a talented cast, is excellent as the bespeckled, picked upon title charcater. Winona Ryder's film debut.

    What a cute film. Haim was so adorable...
