Slant Magazine

This is thoroughly a family affair, but with the Polish brothers' upcoming film Manure just around the corner, Stay Cool feels a bit rushed, suggesting nothing more than an homage to Pretty in Pink or Some Kind of Wonderful.

Sunday Times (UK)

The film is silly when it should be sexy, witless when trying to be funny. Everyone involved is probably deeply embarrassed to be associated with it.

An awkward, last-minute romantic dash to Bristol's Temple Meads station in the style of Richard Curtis only serves to underline the air of creative bankruptcy.

while Dougray Scott is a viable romantic alternative, he's absent from too much of the film, leaving Alice to discover 'The Truth About Love' long after we all stopped caring.

Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)

Morgan Jon Fox's six-years-in-the-making documentary was inspired by 'a modern-day message in a bottle': a teen MySpace user's plea to be freed from a controversial 'conversion therapy' program designed to transform homosexuals into 'ex-gay' Christians.
