Ungainly mix of gritty street-life drama, perky teen romance and seriocomic sci-fi time-tripping never jells.

Ray's script shambles off in all directions and succeeds only in reinforcing our disbelief.

The final third of the script feels like an afterthought in a film that cannot bring any plausibility to its gritty setting nor its characters' plight because it began with an inherently sentimental plot device.

...certain scenes come off as surprisingly entertaining while others just seem to drag on and on.

Fetching Cody, with its squeaky-clean leads and tidy Vancouver streets generally comes off like an ABC After School Special with a lukewarm Twilight Zone ending.

Creative and different, helped very much by the fine performances in the film. It doesn't quite work, but the effort is there and there are some very good scenes.
