The Moviesite Fan Club comments

Ian Douglas: Initially this plays out like a updated female ''Karate Kid'' remake, until right near the end, when it presents the heroine -- and the viewer -- with a modern moral dilemma. This movie can provide great material for Guidance Class discussions in school as it explore our acceptanced gender roles both in society and in a romantic relationship. It's easy to see why it was such a winner at Sundance.
