bigboone500 *****MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS*****Wow! The worse movie ever! Based on a 13,412 user rating this movie was given a 6.3 (probably by the same people who voted for Trump) absolutely horrible! This awesome kid who tries to motivate a brain dead High School, gets hit by lightning and dies. And I'm thinking maybe they will publish his magazine at the end, perhaps, it goes viral or something. Nada, zip, zero, and last but not least...NOTHING! I mean, if there was some way for me to be reimbursed for the loss of the 1hr 30min this movie has taken from my life span, I would certainly pursue that avenue!

krapriv I loved this movie. It is a thoughtful showcase of the trials and tribulations many teen agers face these days. Particularly ones that desire greatness and happiness beyond what is given to them. It's neither loud nor obnoxious which is good since it helps the audience pay attention to what is going on. There are moments of laughter, there are moments of true understanding of plight, and there are moments of sadness. The elements and characters in this story could be any one you know with out you knowing it (including yourself). If you want a low key night of nostalgia, a bit of retrospect, and a reminder that life is short and precious - this is a good movie for you.

thescribe7 The film encourages me on a personal level. I am a writer and have always been interested in whatever form it may take. Carson is a journalist who wants to have a future outside of this horrid town. In some ways, our main character is a bully. But what I like is that he actually is right on his views. His blackmailing people might be questionable but he makes the point that people stop believing in their dreams. This guy might be a dick but he believes in something. Think about how clichéd we can get in school. This guy rants and makes them feel it. I can relate to wanting all the stupidity around me to stop. And look, at least, you can tell why this guy is a dick. Just look at his parents! One need not look further. His point on ideas and where they come from is especially something that I think could be touched on little bit more both in this film and all films really. But this has the right feel and moral and outlook on life that I would love to see more people take seriously.

moviesrme10 Oh man this is garbage. I can't like it. I just can't. This is a horribly terribly upsetting movie, that includes poor characters , horrible p,lot and ending, and no character development, the story doesn't really wrap all the tight ends tight enough, and this movie just falls apart. Basically by the end of the movie everyone hates him, he can't get a good education and go tot he college he wants to his movie is on drugs, and hates her, and his fathers a jerk who is married and having a baby to another person and then he dies and has a horrible funeral. The characters just don't meet good resolutions. I want to watch a movie that starts out bad but ends on a good note. Not some sappy film about a teen who's got a hard life and dies at the end. Oh my god. F
