Full Plot Details

Sixteen-year-old Lucy is a tomboy. She gets on well with her father but is frequently separated from him for months on end when he goes to work in Canada. Her relationship with her mother is easy-going and she takes care of most things around the house. She tunes into her sexuality and her not-so-'stable' family dynamics. She develops a relationship with her best friend Kenny and starts to realize that her parents' marriage is not as solid as she had previously imagined. She notices that her father's extended stays away from the family are not typical, and that her mother does not pine for her father as much as she herself does.

Movie Reviews

Reel Film Reviews - 5/10 by David NusairThe familiarity of the narrative - the movie does, after all, include such coming-of-age touchstones as first love and irresponsible parents - grows more and more problematic as time progresses...
The Hollywood Reporter - 4/10 by John DeForeFamiliar faces in supporting roles don't do much for the commercial prospects of this modest film, which feels like a made-for-TV version of the prototypical Sundance-aspiring quest for identity.
Chicago Reader - 4/10 by Ben SachsThis coming-of-age drama might trade in familiar narrative developments, but its characterization is rather nuanced.
New York Daily News - 4/10 by Elizabeth WeitzmanSimplistic plotting, pedestrian visuals and poorly-handled melodrama do lend the project a cheap, made-for-TV feel, which is underscored by the fact that Danes and Marsden don’t seem obliged to turn in their best work.
Time Out - 4/10 by Sam AdamsDirector Max Mayer doesn’t find a way to make the ritual traumas of adolescence feel new again.
The New York Times - 3/10 by Stephen HoldenJust when its parts should come together, As Cool as I Am crumbles to bits.
New York Post - 3/10 by Kyle SmithThough darker elements loom in the shadows, nothing in this painfully sincere film is remotely affecting; just think of it as “My So-Called Strife.”
Slant Magazine - 3/10 by Tina HassanniaThe film is the cinematic equivalent of a teenager, making everything more melodramatic than it needs to be, and impatient with the subtle details of life.
User Review - 10/10 by Marya MWhat an amazing coming-of-age story: bright, funny, sad, intelligent and well-acted. Movies like this give more than entertainment. They give us humanity, more aliveness. Great characters, plot, and a refreshing script. Bravo!
User Review - 10/10 by Rebecca CLoved this movie. A must see for parents... and also teens. Tells what its like to be a regular kid with parents who just pretend to parent. Lucy becomes the parent to her mother, and the impact on her is tragic. Her vulnerability and fight are compelling, as she insists on bouncing back, no matter what happens to her. I loved it, and feel like reviewers must have been watching a differing film - either that, or couldn't accept the truth of the matter. Five stars.
