| DVDTalk.comBrian OrndorfThe contrast is inviting, the emotional momentum is there, and the dramatic situations are ripe with potential...and then the viewer is faced with Klein, Prinze Jr., and Sigler doing all the heavy lifting. How deflating. |
| Slant MagazineJoseph Jon LanthierPossesses a poorly explored but fecund meta-analysis of juvenile semi-stardom that demands a more sensitive treatment. |
| ReelTalk Movie ReviewsDonald J. LevitUninspired performances and a lack of chemistry fail to project whatever has brought and kept the film's odd couple together. |
| New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanThe overgrown boys at its center are so unappealing that the setting certainly won't make their trials worth your time. |
| New York PostKyle SmithOne of those pointless indies that you'll have forgotten before the credits roll. |
| New York TimesNathan LeeThe movie is a character study about two underachieving dullards scarcely worth contemplating. |
| Boxoffice MagazineSusan GreenPrinze's limited range as an actor drags down a spirited performance by Klein, but the script is too awful to give either of them much hope. |
| User ReviewRodrigo DI love this movie and Freddie rocks! Funny, touching and well made. |
| User ReviewAl SA really good indie film about two friends trying to figure out their lives. The moral of the story is really realistic about the process that people go thru in trying to find out what they want out of life. Also, great acting by prinze jr., klein, and sigler. |
| User ReviewLuisa CIt isn't that horrible... But it leads nowhere... |
