Reviews and audience reactions
Almost without exception, the film was panned by critics . On the RottenTomatoes website , where online reviews are collected, it achieved an impressively poor result with only 15% positive reviews (as of May 2010). RottenTomatoes himself concluded that only prepubescent girls would like the film; for everyone else it is a sleeping pill.
In addition to the general shortcomings of the film - in particular its plot - it was also criticized that the film discriminates fat people who are portrayed as unpopular and should, if you please, only form pairs with each other; as intent was considered that the dance scene of the thick girl (played by Kallie Flynn Childress) with a fat boy with Oingo Boingo song "We Close Our Eyes" ( We close our eyes ) was highlighted as the song for the dance of popular and thin leading actress ( Remember by Deborah Lurie and Gabriel Mann) contained the request "Open your eyes / Take it all in" ( open your eyes / take it all in ).
Despite the bad reviews, the film recouped its production costs of around $ 10 million.
Awards
In 2005, the film was nominated for the Young Artist Award in several categories , only Kallie Flynn Childress received an award in the category Best Performance in a Feature Film - Supporting Young Actress .
