| The New York TimesAndy WebsterThe Japanese have a term for a certain type of character in manga (comic books) and anime: bishonen — pubescent in appearance, devoid of facial hair, sensitive, unthreatening. That would be Mr. Espinosa. |
| Common Sense MediaBarbara ShulgasserSweet coming-of-age tale about two teen artists. |

| User ReviewMark EThis was a well written movie with great acting. It is a human interest story about two teens from different worlds discovering more about themselves and the world through their friendship. This is a good family movie that will appeal to teens and adults. |
| User ReviewNikki NI have to say it is a decent teenage feel-good movie. |
| User ReviewVera HTruly cute and straight-up PG story about a small-town artsy girl with dreams of attending art school in big-time NYC, but no confidence to apply. Enter a pouty, mega-famous teen pop star who just wants some time to himself. When his tour bus makes a quick stop in arsty-girl Emily's hometown, he sneaks out for some late-night skateboarding and gets left behind. Worse, pouty pop-boy Jordan gets recognized by a pack of shrieking tween fans and is reluctantly rescued by Emily. As the night wears on, a friendship starts to form as each finds the voice of change in what the other has to say. The sometimes-wooden acting doesn't detract from the slightly unbelievable story that actually holds water. Surprisingly entertaining and genuinely sweet, treat this like an enjoyable slice of key lime pie and don't sweat the calories. |
