Deborah Young Variety Though the comedy's not all that sparkling and the cast generally uninspired, pic is pretty to look at. May 27, 2005 Full Review Marta Barber Miami Herald It's a summer love story without heat and a coming-of-age story that never matures. Rated: 2/4 May 27, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member I am not sure why the critic's reviews are so bad. To be honest, this is a hilarious, sweet, and light romantic comedy. If you don't like anything gory, dramatic, deadly, or voilent, this is a must see. The witty dialogues are brilliant. The movie depicted a silly, horny and talkative teeanger girl and a judgey anutie. Their characters are so relatable. The teenager was just how I was as a girl. Plus the songs, dances, everything 80's cracked me up every 5 minutes. The constant montage actually worked! Just a brilliant movie about a teenager girl's inner landscape Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member total fluff romantic comedy and I LOVE IT Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Bad movie!!! Annoying girl and horrible story. [img]http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/user/smilies/eek.gif[/img][img]http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/user/statusicon/forum_old.gif[/img] Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member This Movie has subtitles in WHITE, hard to read as the film takes place in very lighed areas like beaches with white buildings. Interesting movie, I enjoyed it but it didnt make my hot list. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Yet another coming of age movie, this time based on the Greek island of Ios. 14 year-old teen Megghy skips out on her girl scout troop to crash at her aunt's house. Megghy then plays a trick on her aunt (played by the sexy Stefania Montorsi, whose name in the movie is also Stefania) to get her to take her to Ios. What starts off as a run-of-the-mill coming of age movie then takes a few turns as Stefania has to come to terms with her Monica Bing-like neuroses, her "old" age (she's 30 on Greece's version of South Padre Island) and her own lack of a love life. I won't reveal the main plot twist here, but I will say that this is a fine movie - if you're into fun & sun sex comedies.
