Reaction: Thankfully we were able to keep costs pretty low for the film otherwise to could have lost a lot more money. Foreign audiences showed no interest whatsoever in this NYC-set story, which definitely hurt the bottom line, but drama and comedy are the two primary genres that don't travel overseas well when it comes to the box office. The film also now has the unfortunate distinction of being the lowest grossing film ever released by the studio.
"The title is a bit misleading. It should probably be called "Young People in New York," but either way you're getting a film about whiny young people with no real problems." - Sean Williamson, Toronto Star
"While the story may not offer a whole lot that's new, the acting is uniformly strong across the cast. The film is worth seeing just to watch the group of great young actors practice their craft." - Tim Durand, San Francisco
"I cannot describe quite how insufferable all of these characters felt to me. Each member of the talented cast is wasted on thankless roles. And don't get me started on that 20 year time jump at the end..." - Jeff Stockton, The Roundup
