sabrinaroberts-81172 "Candy Jar" tells the story of two highschool students, Bennett and Lona, who are on the debate team and have practically no social life. They are both very driven characters who believe in working hard to achieve their goals. They share a love of debate and of finding the facts, but yet relentlessly hate each other after years of knowing each other. At the beginning, it can become tedious since you don't quite understand why they dislike each other so much. However, the story develops in a mature and sensitive coming of age story that explores Bennett and Lona's finding their own personalities out of the pressure of debate and school as well as their mothers - and the romance is a sweet touch. I highly recommend it.

champ-11656 I enjoyed the flip on a high school students' story where they actually studied hard. It was interesting and quite charming. I genuinely laughed and cried. It felt a lot like an indie movie and I honestly couldn't guess what was happening next.

lallo-2 I've found this movie really pathetic and boring to the excess. I watch all movies and I watch till the end. This was very hard to watch till the end. The best scene? The appearing of the end credits.

Niphredil12 This is a cute coming of age store about two very competitive teens in their senior year of high school. Bennett wants to get into Yale, Lona wants Harvard, and both are very good at debate. Their rivalry gets in their own way however and they must learn to work together... somehow.This movie doesn't try to be more than what it is, a cute story about teenagers falling in love, about growing up, about the pressures of getting into colleges. But rapid dialogue and cute chemistry make this very enjoyable and fun to watch.
