An Edgar Bronfman project, this is actually quite a subtle film that experiments with the reversal of sexual/gender power roles. There are layers of satire as well as an exploration of the meeting place of integrity and abuse. The issues are not solved, but the exploration is provocative and memorable.
I suspect that the lower ratings reflect viewpoints lacking in subtlety.
The acting by the younger characters is consistent and well-done throughout. The role and power reversals are played with intelligence and subtlety. In the tradition of "teen" movies, the adults play more "wooden" roles, but they are so much in the background that this is not a significant detraction.
