Los Angeles Times
A potent mixture of sentiment and grit, and it showcases the talents of its young principals. - 70
New Times (L.A.)
The film belongs to Jordan Brower, whose every appearance breaks one's heart, and makes some otherwise familiar material come alive. - 20
L.A. Weekly
Never quite gets up to speed, lurching its way through a glossing, superficial take on street life and teenage sexuality. - 20
Mr. Showbiz
Hard to watch -- not because of its unflinching realism, but rather for its mawkish reliance on every boy hooker flick from "Midnight Cowboy" to "Johns."
