Chicago ReaderLisa Alspector
The message must have got lost somewhere in the plot twists of this would-be topical thriller about the power of hearsay on a college campus. Read full review

New York PostLou Lumenick
A glossy, shallow thriller where not a single scene rings true.

The New York TimesStephen Holden
If you're looking for a 90-minute post-teen soap opera with pretty people, ludicrous hairpin turns and a whopper of an ending, the movie will keep you mindlessly off balance. Read full review

Entertaining in a trashy sort of way. Read full review

Boston GlobeLoren King
Owes less to any film genre than to TV soap operas offered with far fewer pretensions on any given afternoon.
