August 8, 2009A very good film that mixes a lot of different ideas. Imagine a melting pot of Romeo & Juliet, Bring it on and Boyz n' the hood. It's a good story with a talented young cast and a great feel good film.

January 23, 2008It is a better than average romancey drama. There's a lot worse out there. Might even get a better rating if it weren't so darn plain.

Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
Stiles and Thomas are good together, in a warm and fuzzy, as opposed to hot and heavy, sort of way.

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
The setup promises cliches, but the development is intelligent, the characters are more complicated than we expect, and the ending doesn't tie everything up in a predictable way. full review
