These character live in an unblemished neighborhood, where everyone has bite-sized problems that can easily be resolved with a few kind words, a hug, and some tears.

Begins in the vein of a Joe Dante suburban satire but ends like a nightmare of Chris Columbus poppycock.

At least it's a viable alternative to the usually predominate brainless super-charged kids fare that's thrown on the big screen. And for that, Treu's cinematic "little secret" is worth telling out loud.

Top CriticThis is simply good filmmaking, and deserving of your attention.

Little Secrets is a sweet little movie, and you don't have to keep that a secret.
08/24/02
To a large degree, Little Secrets succeeds in a valiant effort to portray a teens struggling with the inevitable pitfalls along the bumpy road to adulthood.

What you end up with are a bunch of kids acting not like kids, but how adults who've lost all sense of what it was like to be a kid think kids behave.

Top CriticThe movie's chipper charms, and its steadfast determination to present an alternative to overly merchandised multiplex fare (there's nary a pop song or product placement here), ultimately win out.
08/23/02
A touching film that will make audiences smile and cry at young characters who are learning about love and confession.
