"Among the young cast, Wood's bullied pipsqueak Casey is the underdog hero, who is rewarded with the pretty cheerleader Delilah (Brewster), after the latter ditching her jock boyfriend Stan (Hatosy), who gives up playing football and in turn, is taken by DuVall's Stokely, a straight girl using the queer label to keep unwanted attention at bay, a regressive and regrettable contrivance can pass muster anymore. Then, there is Hartnett's Zeke, a paradox of small crime and high intellect, rather a blue-sky invention than a credible character. However, that doesn't stop him from being the best in show, especially when he is faced with Janssen's Miss Burke, whose from-mousy-to-bossy about-face accentuates his cool-guy appeal and a wry resignation."
