Top CriticWould be easier to root for if it weren't so very pleased with itself.

Top CriticWhile a title card at the beginning of the picture says the story is inspired by true events, it really should read, 'Inspired by another film.'
10/21/05
Top CriticFilmmaker Josh Stolberg claims to have been inspired by real-life events, but mostly he ineptly rips off other movies and wastes a cast that includes Rosanna Arquette, Adam Arkin and Elizabeth Perkins.

Top CriticYou get the exhausting feeling that Stolberg is desperately trying to prove how cool he is.
10/21/05
Top CriticAn anti-Bush, pro-First Amendment, completely ridiculous fight-the-power comedy that happens to have been inspired by actual events.

Top CriticThis indie teen movie is like a cafeteria lunch tray: lots of little compartments, with nothing particularly appetizing in any of them.
10/21/05
Top CriticWell-meaning but woefully unconvincing.
10/21/05
Top CriticJosh Stolberg's mild-mannered satire imagines that teenage rebellion in the Bush era has gone soft.
10/20/05
Top CriticA comedy so inane and tedious that it buries its premise and its various worthy points under too many arch and improbable shenanigans and endless dialogue, much of it seriously under-inspired.
10/20/05
Top CriticShort on real teenage angst and emotion, the film is long on caricatures.
10/20/05
Top CriticBetter than it has any right to be.
10/20/05
Top CriticThe movie delivers little more than fast reflex laughs.
10/20/05
Top CriticProceeds to rip off every teen flick from Heathers to Napoleon Dynamite.
