A film easy to criticize for hokey production values but I enjoyed it. It was funny and had charismatic performances. It's obviously trying to channel Ferris Beuller and Napoleon Dynamite. If you like those films give this a shot. It's charming.

Tim Timmerman: Hope of America would be hopeless without Perino and Maidhof. He's got a raffish charm, she's delightful as an ingenue, and their chemistry together sparkles.

Overall, Tim Timmerman: Hope of America is a quirky but flawed film that is headed in the right direction, just good enough to get you to look forward to the filmmaker's next effort.

Fairly tame high school comedy pays homage to '90s faves.
