• Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys, The (2002)

  [7/10]

  "The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys tells a touching story that really captures the essence of growing up as a teenage boy in a staunch Catholic family, and in spite of all the anachronisms, I found the movie completely engaging."

• Girl Next Door, The (2004)

  [6/10]

  "Director Luke Greenfield has created a well constructed teen comedy with a bit of a plot twist at the end."

• Mudge Boy, The (2003)

  [6/10]

  "Writer and director Michael Burke does an excellent job at creating a portrait of Duncan Mudge, but he doesn't really take the story to a satisfying conclusion."
