Not much humor here. The statement about white trash is lost in an incest subplot. Just a mess.

Generally Jenkins shows few rookie jitters, and she got excellent performances from the rest of her cast.

There's an alchemy that can transform personal experience into a great film, but it was nowhere nearby when Tamara Jenkins wrote and directed this lacklustre first feature.

not as bad as the title makes it sound

Uneven but filled with flashes of painful insight into the pitfalls awaiting adolescent girls.

Though hypocritical in the way it sensationalizes sexuality, this serious and funny 1998 movie about a 15-year-old coming to terms with her body and her family in 1976 is, refreshingly, never coy or ironic.

Aside from Corrigan, there is nothing that I can recommend about it.

A small film with plenty of incidental pleasures, writer/director Jenkins' debut feature puts a winning new spin on the adolescent comedy-drama.

What lifts this brash comedy above the vulgar herd is Tamara Jenkins in a heartfelt feature debut as writer and director.

Funny, well acted comedy from a new director whose career shuld be watched

Dark comedy about family dysfunction; sex, drugs, cursing.
