Coming of age in Plainsboro, New Jersey. High school student Hal Hefner stutters. On the evening his parents stop arguing and separate, 43 miles away at the state tournament, his school's legendary debater, Ben Wekselbaum, goes blank mid-sentence, Ben's teammate Ginny Ryerson doesn't get a first-place trophy, and the world changes. That fall, to Hal's amazement, Ginny recruits him for the debate team, mentors him, and will be his partner. He still has his stutter, but he works hard and he falls in love with Ginny. On the day of the first debate of the season, the world changes again. From then until the day of the state tournament, Hal has a lot to sort out. Is love rocket science?

| Killer Movie ReviewsAndrea ChaseNever stoops to the tawdriness of the merely conventional or the expected. It is droll, wicked, and scathingly original. |
| New York PostLou LumenickTo his credit, Blitz throws in an unexpected twist that delivers a more ambivalent ending than your typical sports movie. |
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenAdolescent angst in a movie that's about as quirky and unpredictable as a film-maker can get. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertI suspect a lot of high school students will recognize elements of real life in the movie, and that the movie will build a following. It may gross as little as "Welcome to the Dollhouse" or as much as "Clueless," but whichever it does, it's in the same league. |

| MaximPete HammondThere should be no debate that this little gem deserves to be as big a hit as it was at Sundance. |
| KyleSmithOnline.comKyle SmithA frightening memorandum from a dismal and mysterious dungeon: high school. |
| OregonianMike RussellA dry, vicious and deeply moving little comedy that sort of takes the structure of a teen sports movie, then undermines that structure at every turn. |
| Minneapolis Star TribuneColin CovertA strong contender to become a student classic. |
| Shadows on the WallRich ClineA fiercely personal and yet engaging--and often outright hysterical--look into a young man on the brink of adulthood. |
