"As unflinchingly honest as any so-called 'teen' film to come out in ages...one of the most thought-provoking motion pictures of the year."

"A predictable, trashily entertaining time-filler. There are signs in the first half that it could have been more than that, and this is why disappointment sets in."

"A hip, joyfully contemporary retelling of its vintage predecessor, but someone of director Steven Soderbergh's caliber deserves slightly better than this material."
