Betty Jo Tucker

Helen Mirren's acting stands out in this mean-spirited dark comedy like an original Picasso in a paint-by-numbers art show.

Rob Gonsalves

Here you have a movie in which three teenagers go to a teacher's house and take her hostage. Either you go all the way with that premise, or you don't go there at all.

[Kevin Williamson] seems to have lost touch with his inner-teen.

This flaccid exercise suggests Williamson should spend less time on storyboards and more time at his laptop.

A wildly uneven and sloppily directed movie, full of clashing tones and undigested bits of superior films.

Despite the occasional intelligent flourish, though, the story is irredeemably dumb.
