Early Avalon High Review

The following was posted on EW.com and featured in the 12 November 2010 edition of Entertainment Weekly:

Avalon High

Even by the standards of wholesome movies about teenage reincarnations of King Arthur's court, Avalon High is as silly as cutting down a tree with a herring. Nevertheless, Britt Robertson (Life Unexpected) is a capable lead and the New Zealand locales impress. B-— John Young

The telefilm airs Friday, 12 November, from 8-9:45 PM EST.
