Slight, but enjoyable. A young girl lives at home with her flaky mother and obnoxious grandmother. Her gay father has left and her mother insists on homeschooling her and her brother. Shows her finding her independence and all the little set backs with first jobs and life in general. I liked it.

Heart-warming film about teenager and their parents, but the story is a little slow for me.

Slice of life indie comedy featuring a knockout performances by Ashley Rickards and an eye-opening Haley Joel Osment. This is a life in the doldrums for certain. Rickards plays Bethany with the right mixture of innocence and determination to make something better of herself. The story situations are somewhat ludicrous, but the overall effect is watchable. Give it a shot.

Friday, February 28, 2014 (2012) Sassy Pants DRAMA/ COMEDY Written and directed by Coley Sohn starring Ashley Rickards as Bethany Pruitt, who's been home schooled for much of her life by her divorced penny pinching controlling mom, June Pruitt(Anna Gunn). She also has a younger brother whose also home schooled with the only difference is that she's turning 18, and that her goals are much more different than her moms, which she want to be a successful clothing designer. The movie dwells on this kind of adventure as well as her tribulations she had to endure upon reaching her mark. The movie is full of eccentric characters I am unable to relate, which the idea may have derived from one of those books written for teenage girls. The authenticity is totally wacked with the only normal person throughout the entire movie is the star herself. Haley Joel Osmond of "The Sixth Sense" plays the gay lover of Bethany's dad Chip who seems like a fun character, but is only shown so much. 2 out of 4 stars

Simpy loved it. It was a good mixture of comedy and drama. I see it more as a chick flick though.

Sweet and well-intentioned, Sassy Pants is difficult to dislike, despite its missteps.

Rated: 6/10

New York Times

Until "Sassy Pants" loses its nerve and turns somewhat warm and fuzzy, Ms. Sohn maintains tight control of the story of Bethany's liberation from her domestic prison to pursue fashion.

Rated: 3/5

Los Angeles Times

Although it attempts a kind of outr pose, the film ultimately proves a too-gentle juggling act that never quite soars.

Rated: 2.5/5
