Amazon.co.uk Review
This paranoia-fuelled thriller, more intelligent and imaginative than you would have reason to believe, owes a huge debt to The Stepford Wives with its premise of a goody-good high school clique programmed by an evil doctor to be wholesome, academically driven and shining examples of clean living. Unlike its predecessor, though, David Nutter's film opts to open up its premise for everyone to see, diluting the scares but amplifying the creepy atmosphere. There's never any question of what's happening to the students of Cradle Bay High, who go from being druggies and sex fiends to the academically excellent Blue Ribbons, but it's a lot of fun to see these programmed teens run amok--and start killing people--when their hormones kick in. And considering they're all horny teenagers, this happens, oh, at least a few times a day. Model-perfect James Marsden, with stunning cheekbones and piercing blue eyes, is the new kid in town who stumbles on the plot with a little help from metalhead Nick Stahl. Moody Marsden stirs up trouble when he refuses to join up with the Blue Ribbons, prompting his concerned parents to consider signing him up for the program, especially after it turns Stahl into a vest-wearing, pep-rallying brainiac. The satire isn't entirely fulfilled (the evil kids hang out at the yoghurt shop and spout inspirational platitudes), but once the action kicks in it's quite an enjoyable ride, thanks primarily to Bruce Greenwood (The Sweet Hereafter) as the mad scientist behind it all and Katie Holmes (Go) as Marsden's love interest. Refusing the advances of the star football player and fighting gamely alongside Marsden, Holmes manages to deck a few bad guys with a fervour that squarely puts her in Linda Hamilton and Jamie Lee Curtis territory. Steve Railsback stars as the colluding chief of police and Dan Zudovic as a janitor with a penchant for getting rid of "rats," rodent and otherwise. --Mark Englehart, Amazon.com

 Not Another Teen Movie, 2010-09-05
When I first watched this movie I thought it was very average at best... the characters are generally stereotyped, tho the three main leads Nick Stahl, Katie Holmes & James Marsden are fine, but the actor who plays U.V. is incomprehensible when he speaks. I also think the script is trying too hard to be 'hip' & the soundtrack is clearly aimed at the skater/punk generation, tho the score by Mark Snow is OK (I actually bought the score) & their is an early appearance from a rather slump A.J.Buckley (CSI NY). Most of the older stars such as William Sadler & Bruce Greenwood are wasted... & Katherine Isabella (Ginger Snaps), who I love too bits has nothing to do in this movie & doesn't even get a name-check on the DVD. Over-all, Disturbing Behavior is watchable but their is nothing new here. If you want to watch a teen horror movie that has some great acting, a memorable score & a good solid script with some fine directing... then watch Ginger Snaps!!!
 Why so much negativity?, 2009-11-15
I bought this on VHS (I know!!), I cant remember why I did, but I was pleasntly surprised and still throw it on now and again. As many have stated at the very least this showcases young talent in early roles. That aside the story is based on paranoia, peer presures, sexual desires and growing up; all in just the right mix. In no place does the film substitute one for another to make up for shortcomings in the plot without aiming to achieve a desired effect (yes theres the katie holmes introduction but in fairness its intentional). It has the typical teen clique issue but enjoyable, I guess the music references help make it a little more relateable and fun, add an extra side to it.
At its heart, the plot feels like an old school sci-fi movie growing up in the '90s. And done well. I guess its a teenage stepford wives of sorts with a small dash of horror. Not as polished or uber cool as the Faculty, but cool all the same.
fun reasons to watch:
1. Cyclops is in it
2. John Conner is in it
3. Flagpole sitta by Harvey Danger
4. Katie holmes
dont write it off, try renting it
The acting was alright, that's all I have to say..., 2001-09-04
...apart from the fact that this was one weird-ass film. Katie Holmes was amazing in her role but the characters were poorly written and the ending was too predictable (apart from when the Stahl turned).
High school horror?, 2008-09-08
Loner Steve Clark (James Marsden) and his family have just moved from Chicago to an idyllic village in the northwest. As he starts school, Steve finds the usual cliques, the strangest being a group called "the Blue Ribbons;" they're the handsomest jocks and most beautiful coeds and seem perfect but have a bad habit of beating people up - and getting away with it. Steve is befriended by a stoner (Nick Stahl) and a punk girl (Katie Holmes) who share his suspicions about the Blue Ribbons. Can they solve the mystery - in time?!
First of all, James Marsden is way too good-looking, charming, and old to play the outsider teen. He's extremely likeable and sincere, however, and was the only reason I kept watching to end, hoping this confusing mess would make sense. I guess it did have a plot, but it was so poorly written that it's pretty laughable. There was nothing in the story that seemed believeable. The teen and adult characters were all stereotypes, the Marsden and Holmes characters suddenly became brilliant detectives and foiled an evil plan to turn the student body into Stepford Teens, and zombies, it seems, are really dumb and apparently no one will notice if they all disappear.
For a so-called "thriller," this movie was not suspenseful at all, just silly and amateurish. (But James Marsden looks good.)
Katie Holmes demonstrates her talent and that is about it., 2001-06-28
This is an interesting film, it keeps you hooked as you are desparate to know what bizarre ending they are going to come up with considering the script is fairly week. Nick Stahl (The Man Without A Face) is all grown up and greasy haired and performs convincingly. The real surprise is Katie Holmes (Joey, Dawson's Creek)her performance is convincing and notable when she takes on a challenging and very different character to her other film and TV roles. It is proof that she has the ability to portray a character other than the girl across the creek, and does it really well. Worth watching just for her performance but not much else. So Creek fans get watching!
