There's nothing terribly new under the sun about any of what transpires. But writer-director Gleason has crafted a film that manages to be simultaneously funny, touching and sensitive. Read full review

James Berardinelli

There’s a sense that, in trying to add humor and cinema-friendly “touches” to her narrative, Gleason occasionally takes us too far from reality and, during those times, the movies loses its focus on the 16-year old protagonist, Jamie Winkle (Joey King). Read full review

Summer ’03 bounces between plot lines and themes, shuffling through elements of better films with a lack of focus and little insight into Jamie. It never transcends its teen movie origins to become something more. Read full review

Movie Nation Roger Moore

Sep 27, 2018

While “Summer” is lightly amusing, here and there, it treads heavily on some pretty slippery ground. Gleason makes all the checkpoints that the plot passes through feel perfunctory. Read full review

An absolutely firecracker of a film, sweet and touching while also being explosively hilarious and just a touch raunchy, much like teenage life.

Joey King frankly doesn't show any growth as an actress. But this film is definitely a huge improvement over the disappointing: The Kissing Booth, Wish Upon and Slenderman that she also starred on.

One of the worst movies I've seen, for many of the reasons stated by the professional reviewers. It looks like the writer used the "Save the Cat" book and got a movie made. "This scene goes here, that scene goes there, and before you know it, you're done!" But that's it. At least you can sayOne of the worst movies I've seen, for many of the reasons stated by the professional reviewers. It looks like the writer used the "Save the Cat" book and got a movie made. "This scene goes here, that scene goes there, and before you know it, you're done!" But that's it. At least you can say Jamie King is a very pretty girl, and there are moments where you can see she's a pretty good actress, confirmed by some much better films she's done.… Expand
