This amoral film turns elements of horror inside out while depicting a particularly relevant and contemporary view of teenage sexuality. The image of boys, girls, men and women all leering at the gorgeous and perfect Mandy Lane is a repugnant dismissal of our obsession with youth and beauty the our wish to deflower that perfection. ALL THE BOYS LOVE MANDY LANE is an exciting and insightful film that is quite beautifully directed and shot. A wonderful surprise. Bravo!… Expand

I waited forever to find this movie, and I'm so glad I did, it was a great flick with the ever so beautiful "Amber Heard" as the lead, and she does an amazing job. While this movie kind of borders on the edge of becoming just another teenI waited forever to find this movie, and I'm so glad I did, it was a great flick with the ever so beautiful "Amber Heard" as the lead, and she does an amazing job. While this movie kind of borders on the edge of becoming just another teen slasher, but it never quite falls down to that point which is a good thing. The best touch of all was the great ending. Definitely glad I hunted this one down to add to my movie collection.… Expand

Shock is not the only key factory for this movie, but it is Mandy Lane's character, pure who tends to stay limited, not doing any drugs or any sex, different from other teenagers. But the ending that truly sets the film for being one of the better horror movies this year, it is although predictable throughout and similar to other slasher horror movies, it is twisted and new, it can become a cult classic… Expand

I just recently watched this genre-defying (or subversive, if you will) cult classic and I have to say that I'd rate it among the most underrated slasher/psycho-thriller/mystery thriller/teen horror movies of all time. I mean, there's so muchI just recently watched this genre-defying (or subversive, if you will) cult classic and I have to say that I'd rate it among the most underrated slasher/psycho-thriller/mystery thriller/teen horror movies of all time. I mean, there's so much to like about this The-Virgin-Suicides-meets-Texas-Chainsaw-Massacre movie but almost nothing to hate about it.

For instance, Amber Heard alone and her outstanding performance are a huge and singular reason to love this movie and rate it way above average. Her delicate balancing act between 'shy, naïve, and reserved' and 'stoic, smart, and powerful' in Mandy Lane's persona is quite frankly award-worthy. As so is the beauty and air of mystery that she imbues the movie with from beginning to end.

Another plus for the movie is its subversion of common slasher horror tropes (plenty of examples in other reviews of the movie so I won't list them here). The movie's exploration of common school and teen social problems in the US like school shootings, body image issues, sexist stereotypes and gender-based double standards, and suicide in an entertaining yet memorable and serious way is also commendable.

Its setting, cinematography, editing, sound, and costumes are also praiseworthy in their own rights. Also praiseworthy is its gender and racial representation. The only problem that I noted with the movie is there being several continuity errors that, nevertheless, do not substract anything from its appeal. Finally, notice how Jacob Forman (writer) and Jonathan Levine's (director) creativity shows in, for example, their subtle inclusion of elements in the movie that build Emmet's character (played by Michael Welch) around one of the Columbine High School shooters. It baffles me how most people seem to miss this after they've watched the movie.

I'd recommend this movie to all horror fans and every other person that loves a good teen or psycho-thriller or mystery movie. I'd also recommend it to Amber Heard fans because her lead actress debut performance in this movie demonstrates why she's the A-list actress that she is.… Expand

This was not a bad movie. Mandy Lane portrays to be a saint, because she does not drink, sleep around and do drugs, but she turns out to be a killer with her friend.
