Top CriticQuite why Perry, as romantic interest, is still trying to convince peopel he is of high school age remains a mystery.

Joss Whedon's script has some fun with Valley talk (both genuine and ersatz) but strains to sell the story.

A slight, good-humored film that's a lot more painless than might have been expected.
