Dove Review

Only the PG-13 rating and the star names will attract interest. Although it initially portrays some of the pressures college students face as they approach graduation, the film also typifies the Hollywood image of college. Dorm parties feature alcohol and drug use in excess, and promiscuous sex is normal. A few scenes also show Katie in bed with Embry and later Wade, although no nudity is shown. Violence is limited to a few struggles and wounds that occur off-screen, but strong profanity and obscenities are used several times. Condoned promiscuous and premarital sex, along with excessive alcohol, drug use, and profanities should encourage concerned viewers to abandon this psychological mystery.
