 "Trite, silly, and grating... a flimsy excuse for a nostalgic musical that shoots for playful satire but ultimately proves staggeringly impotent." |

Weak |
 "...eventually falls flat in its heavy-handed efforts to score an emotional homerun... indie misfire is more of a baseball rendition of 'Friday Night Lights,' minus the acute insight." |

 "...tonally aims for, and somewhat achieves, a lurid mix between a juicy morality tale and 'Boogie Nights's' fetish for nostalgia. Gallo's sensational porn tale, though, lacks impact..." |

Very Good |

 "...feels a bit rushed, suggesting nothing more than an homage to 'Pretty in Pink' or 'Some Kind of Wonderful.' The saving graces are the cinematography and production design, as the style is nearly pitch-perfect..." |
