Stolen Summer | The A.V. Club (536 words) |
 | Seizing the opportunity to get a dying boy into heaven, Stein takes a cue from Bruce Jenner and devises a Decathlon of physical "tests" for Weinberg, with a Communion wafer as the gold medal. |
| From the start, Stein's worries about hell are more precociously cute than real, and the urgency of his quest never frightens the beatific Weinberg, who just looks happy to have a friend. |
| Their scenes together are full of innocent exchanges about the hereafter—these kids are always saying the darndest things—but the actors never seem to address each other, as if their dialogue scenes were shot on separate days and spliced together in the editing room. |
