2/5

A rather dull meat-and-potatoes slasher film front-loaded with lots of tedium where character development used to go.

The film is pretty good, but suffers a little bit from serious-itis.

Think of it as "There's Something About Mary" with a twist of "Friday the 13th"...

Mandy Lane isn’t a masterpiece by any definition, but it is a fine and well crafted piece of work that a lot of care and attention to detail was put into.

May have an indie budget but equally evokes the rich landscapes of early Terrence Malick and the grimy grindhouse tales of the '70s, converging poetically into its heartmashing climax.

a feature length music video that's too busy admiring itself it the mirror to make any sense

A serial killer's wet dream peopled with all sorts of repugnant, rich, bored and terminally cynical Texas teens.

Like far too many modern horror films, All the Boys Love Mandy Lane flaunts its knowledge of classic genre fundamentals but fails to do anything very clever or surprising with them.

All the boys might love Mandy Lane -- discerning horror fans, however, will not.

Engaging, sharply acted slasher movie that's a cut above the usual rubbish, thanks to a decent script and impressive direction by Jonathan Levine.

with teenagers, there will always come a time when innocence must be lost - but Levine's film transfixes this moment with the sharpness of a razor.

A thoroughly derivative, boringly ordinary affair in desperate need of a hockey-masked psycho or razor-gloved ghoul to liven things up.

More of a dramatic freak-out than your standard teen slasher horror. Although the effect is exactly the same.

What distinguishes it from the slasher flock, however, isn't its kills, but its smarts: the extent to which it taps into the high school psyche and recontextualizes its usual sex-alcohol-and-drugs temptations.

Director Jonathan Levine's film displays an intelligence lacking in most teen slasher pics.

All the Boys Love Mandy Lane (is) the best modern slasher flick since Scream. In fact, I like All the Boys Love Mandy Lane a little more than Scream -- All the Boys may be knowing and post-modern as it begs, borrows and steals from films like Prom Night,

A partly smart, mostly dumb addition to the teen horror sweepstakes -- smart in how it neatly catches the petty, hurtful, sexy and druggy aspects of high school life, dumb in how it makes absolutely no sense once its resolution is known.

All the Boys Love Mandy Lane is what we call a "thinking man's slasher flick." Hell, it might just be the first one ever.
