Critics Consensus

Hick's talented young star is ill served by a film whose story wavers between discomfitingly inappropriate and simply muddled.

Stephen Fitzpatrick The Australian Hick is worth the effort -- and it does have some genuinely witty writing. Oct 1, 2012 Full Review Matt Singer Time Out Chicago And so it came to Chlo Grace Moretz, as it must to all child actors: puberty. Rated: 1/5 Jun 1, 2012 Full Review Drew Hunt Chicago Reader Ambles back and forth between tomfoolery and strained seriousness. May 24, 2012 Full Review Richard Haridy Quickflix Derek Martini's second feature - after the competent Lymelife - is a confused mess of awkward tonal shifts and boring narrative tangents all encased in the discomforting shell of a Lolita fantasy. Rated: 1/5 Nov 25, 2013 Full Review Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed Just a notch above dismal. Even with the star power Jul 25, 2013 Full Review Matt Pais RedEye Recognizes that kids can't expect the grass to be greener but comes too close to suggesting that you can expect others to mow your lawn. Rated: 1.5/4 May 24, 2012 Full Review Read all reviews

Green C It has its moments. If nothing else, a life lesson for any 13-year-old who thinks they want to run away from home. (side note: the irony of Alec Baldwin saying "I know guns. I know bullets. I know where they go. I know where they don't go.") Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/23/25 Full Review Audience Member It was ok but really strange at the same time. It was all over the place Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/07/25 Full Review Epic G A disorganized and pretentious drama with no real point. The story of a young girl runaway in the South from a poor irresponsible family meets more irresponsible travelers. Weak attempt at a coming of age storyline with inappropriate sexualization, randomness, coincidental strangers, and forced situations that fall flat. Add in a dash of idealism for far too many tryhard ingredients that combine together like water and oil. A meaningless ending that makes you no better off for having watched it. Total shot and miss. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/25 Full Review Jack F I love this movie so much it never leaves my brain and the way that my favorite character that I fall in love with turns out to be a villian is one of my favorite type of genres. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/29/24 Full Review Alain E One unresolved mystery will always be how this movie got financed and assembled a cast of fairly competent actors to serve a script that appears to be a hallucination of an eleven year old. In an interesting premonition, Alec Baldwin appears in a scene after someone dies when the trigger is pulled on a firearm that was assumed to be unloaded. Ten years later life imitated fiction. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/28/24 Full Review sandra s Worst MOVIE I ever watched. A waste of time to even write a review! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/24/24 Full Review Read all reviews
