First off,I have to say that i enjoyed the book. This however, is trash. The acting was so bad it was painful to watch. Dominique Swain's performance was terrible. It was like watching a middle school play. The reaction when Darcy said she was raped and Matt commits suicide was just completely wrong. Not only that, but the soundtrack was awful. It sounded like really watered down grunge. The only good song was one that Cybil sings. Surprisingly, I thought that Tara Reid as Cybil was really interesting. However, because of the script, not even an Oscar worthy performance could save this movie. In conclusion, this movie is garbage, but it was a lot of fun for my sister and I to make fun of.

the outcome of happiness in this movie really didn't do it for me. The film tried to be a teen movie that deals with issues that a teenager will face in high school. But, the reality, is that this movie says: you're friend might commit suicide, or have massive sexual escapades, but in the end it will all be alright, which is not true. Not only did bad acting bad, but the story lacked in substance as well. I mean, it had potential. If they would had focused on a little more on her relationship with her parents on the subject of her virginity, I would spare the film, but they don't. I might be too realistic, but, no good father (which is what the film set up) would allow his daughter to just go out every night to sleep with some guy she has a crush on, and the fact that he did nothing when he knew was a major point of stupidity on the film-maker's part. But as I said before, the fact that everyone in the movie "needed" the main character so much killed me. Her drugy lesbian friend, Tara Reid (still half true), really made me mad for some reason, oh, now I remember it was that little make out session. Wow. How utterly stupid.

This movie isn't really accurate. At first Todd Sparrow seemed so out reach and way too cool for Andrea Marr. During multiple parts of the movie it made me uncomfortable for Andrea because of how awkward she was. But then at the end, Todd said that he couldn't be without her. Sean Patrick Flannery didn't pull this part off very well. He started off as the tough out of reach guy, but the movie tried to evolve his character. Flannery couldn't portray the needy and in love guy. Dominique Swain started as being the shy girl. When she tried to evolve into being the "cool girl", I didn't buy it. Swain sucked at being the strong one to get up and leave. If you watch it with low expectations, you won't be disappointed.

I think this movie is a wonderful one. I just love Sean Patrick Flannery. I think he looks his best in this movie. I liked him as a rocker u know. Does anyone know if that was really him singing. I just wish he wasn't that old, because i definitely would want to date him. He has this great personality in this movie. I wish i was an actress or at least be able to meet him. I think he would be a really awesome person to get to know. I think my favirote part of this movie is when they are at the woodstock kind of thing and he pulls her up on stage and then kisses her it was so sweet and i also liked his say ''everything will be alright'' Well i guess this wraps it up. I guess i'm extremely one of Sean Patrick Flannery's fan.
