At fancy, private Colby University, in the North Carolina hills, a drug overdose puts a senior near death. The school administration calls in the acting sheriff to conduct "a delicate and discrete investigation" - a whitewash. The more he digs, the more evidence he finds that the overdose may have been attempted murder. In flashbacks that parallel his investigation, we see Alicia, a scholarship girl worried about her grades, gradually pulled into the social life of three rich and amoral young women, led by the blond Hadley, a femme fatale. Before the investigation ends, we've met boyfriends, a drug dealer, Alicia's mom, Hadley's dad, nurses, doctors, and an orderly.

| Seattle Post-IntelligencerSean AxmakerConfidently directed and elegantly designed, this smart drama is sensitive, sympathetic and refreshingly free of glib moralizing. |

| Dallas Morning NewsTom MaurstadNew Best Friend's Playboy-mansion presentation of college life is laugh-out-loud ludicrous. |
| Apollo GuideRyan CracknellIts simplicity puts an exclamation point on the fact that this isn't something to be taken seriously, but it also wrecks any chance of the movie rising above similar fare. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanThe party scenes deliver some tawdry kicks. The rest of the film ... is dudsville. |

| Blunt ReviewEmily BluntThe story wields through confusingly and often ricochets so unevenly you're downright confused as to what's up and who's where. |
| eye WEEKLYJason AndersonIncompetent but inadvertently entertaining. |
| Seattle TimesMoira MacDonaldNobody seems to have cared much about any aspect of it, from its cheesy screenplay to the grayish quality of its lighting to its last-minute, haphazard theatrical release. |
