The Atlanta Journal-Constitution: C+
"While the actors do a decent job capturing the aura of their characters, the writing, directing and editing stumble."
The Middletown Journal: B
"The aimless storytelling ends up working to the movie's advantage... The movie feels gritty yet reflective at the same time."
The Palm Beach Post: C
"When the film shuts up and gets down to skateboarding, it is a visual treat."
