The MM - "Kieran
Culkin takes another giant step in making sure that nobody
mistakes him for his brother as he plays a dissatisfied high
schooler who rejects military school and goes on the lam in New York
City. Culkin's modern day Holden Caufield like adventure includes an
eccentric godfather Jeff
Goldblum, his heroin addicted girlfriend, Amanda
Peet (caution: link may contain nudity),
a narcissistic brother Ryan
Phillippe, his slacker girlfriend Claire
Danes and the mother of all neurotic mothers (Susan
Sarandon). Interesting and well acted, but a little too
repetitive and abrasive with a comfortable and pat ending."
