“Stay Cool” Reviews

Hilary Duff attended the Tribeca Film Festival World Premiere for her movie, Stay Cool, over the weekend. Now that a few days have passed, I wanted to gather together a few of the reviews of the film.

First, a quick comment from Hilary’s co-star Mark Polish, who gives Hilary “10 out of 10″ for her kissing skills in the film. Cute. The official Festival blog says the movie is “sweet” and “funny”, with a terrific soundtrack, and delves into a Q&A with the Polish brothers, who admit the film reflects “every mistake [they] made in high school.”

On imdb, a fan posted that the movie had “quirky characters”, makes you laugh, and had memorable lines. He offers some insight into the film, saying it’s like 17 Again in reverse for the main character, Henry (Mark Polish).The review has spoilers, but offers great insight into the direction of the film.

There have been some bad reviews for the film, saying it us “unfunny”, though nobody seems to pick on Hilary Duff too badly. In one bad review, she’s praised for her “bubbly, zippy force of life.” There is one universally bad review, and the bad reviews are mostly from fans, not film critics, but the rest have seemed good. So far I don’t think there are enough reviews to get a balanced perspective.
