ReelViews - James Berardinelli
Builds up enough good will during its successful first half that we're willing to forgive some of the strange and disappointing convolutions the plot takes us through during the final 45 minutes.

The Hollywood Reporter - Sheri Linden
Sharp, vivacious comedy.

Dallas Observer - Luke Y. Thompson
Best of all, in this movie about high school boys, the high school boys sound and look quite authentic (Paul Dano and Chris Marquette are outstanding in this regard), not watered down as would be the norm.
67
Entertainment Weekly - Owen Gleiberman
"Risky Business" had a great opening act and then descended into contrivances. This genial cardboard knockoff is contrived from the start but gets better as it goes along.

Chicago Tribune - Unnamed
In the end it's not the tricks that elevate this movie. It's the acting.
