Chicago Reader -
A corny but sincere weeper written by Jonathan Marc Feldman, directed by Thomas Carter, and shot mainly in Prague.

Entertainment Weekly -
The movie is a somber, smoothly crafted drama about a wily adolescent who senses there's something rotten going on in his country but can't quite put a finger on it.

TV Guide Magazine -
Despite energetic dance sequences and appealing leads, the film falls prey to pat psychologizing and some stunningly puerile notions of history.

Empire -
For its historical detail and recognition that teenagers were around long before James Dean sparked up a Marlboro, this film deserves some credit.

Austin Chronicle -
The script is all too often downright clunky though it's saved by vigorous direction (especially in the dance sequences) and performances.
