Critics consensus

“American Teen skates some thin ice with its documentary ethics but, in the end, presents a charming and stylish (if packaged) tale.”

Funny and fresh, it won't break boundaries but it will make anyone thankful for growing up.

Despite its flashy approach, American Teen remains emotionally involving because of the lives on show. You will care about these people, even if you suspect the director doesn't.

RTTime OutMar 6, 2009

It's a lightly amusing film but it's also an unchallenging one which reinforces presumptions about kids rather than surprising with new insights. It floats in the shallow end of filmmaking.

One of the best films ever made about the high school experience.
