| Goatdog's MoviesMichael W. Phillips, Jr.The filmmakers had studied other teen comedies, but not closely enough to pick up any real feeling for their subjects. |

| User ReviewWillem WA visionary masterpiece. Existential, powerful, meaningful. |
| User ReviewAj VThis movie uses the story of the Prince and the Pauper and applies it to a lazy rich college student and a street smart high school drop out. I think that was a cool idea, even though the end is predictable, and this movie has a lot of funny scenes, I really liked it. |
