Critic Reviews:

• " It's a movie that doesn't try to be more than what it is, but succeeds very well at what it's trying to do. A fun little hidden gem. " – Angie Han (FilmWeek, KPCC – NPR Los Angeles)

• " A charming if slight coming-of-age story about an aimless high school graduate facing hard choices. " – Josh Bell (Crooked Marquee)

• " It's unique, and it's different. It's not predictable, necessarily, but it's different than some of the stuff you're going to see out there. " – Kevin Carr (Fat Guys at the Movies)
