Reviews
Jay Weissberg wrote on October 29, 2007 in the online edition of Variety magazine that the script forced young people to “recite” the “stilted” lines of dialogue that would sound wrong in the mouth of the adults. The plot contains numerous stereotypes and is not convincing ("an unconvincing plot full of stereotypes doesn't help"). Only the presence of Val Kilmer was praised.
