It is, in its unworldly way, sweetly idealistic with a charm all of its own: a teen romance to get your teeth into. The Guardian (02/25/2009)
The two hormonal teenagers sizzle like sausages in a frying pan. The supernatural stunts don't disappoint. Neither does the deadpan wit. The Times (02/25/2009)
