Reviews

James Berardinelli wrote on ReelViews that the film offers more punchlines than Because I'm a Girl or Girls United . He ridiculed all aspects of high school life. Sometimes he seems "clever", sometimes "stupid".

The lexicon of international films said: "High school comedy that uses numerous clichés and hung gags of the genre, is neither funny nor ever questions the system of winners and losers in the pecking order of school and society."
