So wrongheaded that this one couldn't even have looked good on paper. Full Review

Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
Qualls moves his marionette body around with a true clown's effervescence, and he does rubber-faced parodies of youth cool that are just what youth cool deserves. Full Review

Every bad cliche of every bad high school movie finds a home here.

Ann Hornaday, Washington Post
A particularly loathsome piece of cultural detritus.

Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star
There's no getting around the fact that this is Revenge Of The Nerds Revisited -- again. Full Review
