Entertainment Reviews:
...Sharp observations, laceratingly funny dialogue...[and] a secret heart of gold...
New York Times
Rating: 3/4 --
Watching the movie is like sitting through a film in front of a row of wisecracking cult movie fans. It's also sometimes very funny.

...Profane fun....Ricci is headed for a stunning future...
Rolling Stone
...[An] unmitigated hoot....Roos turns every American sterotype...into its opposite and back again with precise comedic timing....[Kudrow] manages to be both ridiculous and endearing, like [the film itself]... -- Rating: A-
Entertainment Weekly
A hoot from start to finish. Don Roos has a real knack for fleshing out the foibles of contemporary sexual mores.

...Ricci, all peroxide and cleavage, is a monster of adolescent cynicism....As star and witty, subversive narrator, it's her film and she's a revelation...
Total Film
Rating: B+ --
This politically incorrect comedy serves up murder, unwanted pregnancy, and other neuroses, all undercut by the acerbic asides of the Lolita-like protag (acidly played by Christina Ricci).

Product Description:
Sixteen-year-old Deedee runs away from Louisiana to live with her half-brother Bill, an English teacher who happens to be gay. Lucia, Bill's sexually-repressed best friend, distrusts her. These suspicions are confirmed when Deedee lures Bill's boyfriend into bed and talks him into stealing $10,000 from Bill and running away with her to Los Angeles. To make matters worse for Bill, his bitter ex-lover frames him for sexual harassment, causing a scandal in their quiet town. This forces him and Lucia to go on a wild chase in search of Matt and Deedee in order to clear his name. They are joined by Sheriff Carl Tippett, a friend, who begins to fall in love with Lucia. A black comedy about what people must go through in order to find "the opposite of sex" - lasting, committed, and loving relationships.
Product Description:
A sixteen-year-old girl runs away from her troubled Lousiana home one summer to live with her rich half-brother, wrecking the lives of everyone she encounters.
