Young Kilmer in no-brainer comedy
May 30, 2007
What lifts the production above the run-of-the-mill is swift direction by Martha Coolidge, who has a firm grasp over the manic material.

This disappointing teen comedy from director Martha Coolidge is another entry in the rash of teens-goofing-with-science films.

Supreme guilty pleasure
May 30, 2007
The movie gets stuck as a run-of-the-mill teen revenge comedy.

What the film needs, instead of these familiar teen-movie trappings, is a cleverness and eccentricity to match that of its characters. For the most part, these are qualities that it lacks.
