Toby's eventual comeuppance feels as preordained and empty as the preppie/townie dichotomy regurgitated here from so many outdated teen-media artifacts.

What are critics saying?
The New York Times by Helen T. Verongos
This film fails even to evoke the ’80s in costumes, soundtrack or other atmospherics.
The Seattle Times by John Hartl
The script’s first half is vigorous enough.... But the movie needs the audacity of a “Trainspotting” to lift it above the norm.
Toby is so un-self-aware that his journey seems like mere obtuseness; what the film has to say about youthful degeneracy is less than zero.
Los Angeles Times by Noel Murray
While the film is well-acted and appealingly slick, the end result lacks novelty.
Arizona Republic by Randy Cordova
Ultimately, the film is never boring, but it's never involving, either. At the end, what you're left with is a modestly entertaining film that doesn't seem to have an original thought in its head. In that way, it's a lot like the characters it spotlights.
