Criticism
Bavarian Television: Not very exciting ....
Allesfilm.com: ... have to hold you, that her acting talent ... has no place on a canvas nothing. Neither she fits into the role of the good nerd, nor can it with the more conservative camisoles, often even cover her belly, slipping out of her I in the skin of Lucy ...
Cinema: ... the director brings the pubertal Dramolett without much embarrassment over the stage, Miss Spears disgraced by no means ...
Moviemaze: Is the plot of this film unimaginative? Yes. Are the characters drawn clichéd? Yes. Oozing the dialogues sometimes only seems like lard? Yes.
Popcorn: ... "Not A Girl" is entertaining, exciting and fun ...
