April 18, 2009A teen high school comedy that is funny, relevant and positive. It's very, very clever. Not just the script, or the message but the whole production. This isn't an anti-God propaganda film to corrupt the world. It's a film that calls into question organised religion and the conse...( read more)

December 21, 2008I quite enjoyed this movie. Perhaps there is too much idealism - the chances of the outcasts being such good friends is remote, but it is nice to hope that even the outcasts of the world make it through graduation as happy as they do in this movie.

September 10, 2009Much better than I was expecting, it has a good meaning behind it and the way it goes about presenting it is great. Very entertaining. Jena Malone, as usual, is terrific. More biting than I would have thought. Well written.

This is one of the most intriguing rite-of-passage teen comedies in a long time. full review

Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com
Even though it pretends to be sharp and observant, it's really one of those 'Let every flower in the garden grow' movies, conspicuously lacking both guts and well-sharpened teeth. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

A.O. Scott, The New York Times
This teen satire set in a Christian high school is an admirable attempt to acknowledge the powerful influence of religion in contemporary American youth culture. full review

June 26, 2007this is, in my opinioun, one of the best "teen" movies to come out in recent years... i love how it tackles religion and acceptance and how people should not be so narrow minded,.. alot of the religious people i went to hight school were like this and because one of my very best friends happens to be gay it hurst me that he's still looked down apon.... thais is a smart, funny movie with alot to say

April 4, 2007I wish everyone in the world could see this movie because it is so important. It really reflects everything I believe, and I can really relate to it. I know a few "Hilary Fay's" myself and sometimes I wish I could show this to them but I know that by forcing this view of christianity on them I would be just like them. Anyway, this is a MUST SEE!

September 2, 2006I didn't want to watch this movie because Macaulay Culkin is in it.
This movie is a twisted view of what contemporary Christian life must look like to an outsider. I'm glad my wife made me watch it. Also, Macaulay was actually pretty good in this movie. It is worth at least a rental.
