Michael O'Keefe Some girls just wanna have fun. Some girls just want some attention. Christina Wayne writes and directs this gritty drama that indirectly ends a small-time, but expensive crime wave. Cat Storm(Dominique Swain is an attractive teen that craves more attention, love and respect than she is getting. Her best friend Delilah(Bijou Phillips)is expelled from an all-girls private school. Cat becomes infatuated with a boy that gathers before school at the same corner every morning. She finally gets William(Brad Renfro)to notice her; and he tries to initiate her to the rich set with its drugs and sex. Ms. Storm goes from outcast to being just tolerated. The handsome William is popular and easy to create trouble, which seems overlooked for he seems stinking wealthy...but no one seems to know how he comes about his money. Not actually a coming-of-age flick; but a look at how wealth influences teen behaviors. Also starring: Mischa Barton, Lacey Chabert, Jacob Pitts, Michael Murphy, Alberta Watson and Nora Zehetner, who I found the most impressive of the cast.

Freedomisanillusion Basic structure of a story: Beginning, Middle, End.Sometimes this structure is played with, and we get Memento or Irreversible and the story plays backwards. Sometimes it's just not linear, a la Pulp Fiction. Regardless, they all have a beginning, middle and end.This is the first film I have ever seen that doesn't have an end.Beginning: Girl's best friend is expelled.Middle: Girl needs to cope without best friend.End: Non existent.Not that having an end would've saved this film, but at least it would have been complete.It's an exercise in apathy; we get a party-mix of characters, and they all turn out to be duds. Boring, vain, vapid and pallid imitations of people.And here's the action within this film: NOTHING HAPPENS. Nothing at all happens. Mischa Barton tries to talk with a plummy English accent, Dominique Swain whines a lot and Brad Renfro receives a blow job from some old guy. End of movie.By the time the credits rolled, I had a horrible feeling that many prisoners must feel: periods of time, those precious minutes of our life, have just been wasted.The only passable point (and that is a very emphatic ONLY) is Brad Renfro. He acts well. Lacey Chabert I tend to like, but no luck here. Due to good work in other films, I will forgive Mischa Barton this travesty, but I hope all cast members were slapped in the face for their involvement.Please, I implore you. Avoid. Don't fool yourself into thinking "I'll make up my own mind". My sister told me to never see this, and I ignored her, wanting to make up my own mind. That was a bad decision.I have never hated a film. There are many I don't like, but I have never hated a film. Until I saw this.

daxwithans If one is to watch this movie I suggest you get a group of friends and prepare to laugh. Though not intentionally meant to be funny, I would suppose, Tart is the funniest thing I have ever seen. If you like jokes about poop and strange men getting coke for kids you will love this movie. Mischa Barton is also in this movie and does a stunning performance. The catcher below the title should tickle your fancy enough to make you watch this, "Sex, Drugs, and Study Hall" If you haven't already seen Tart then you best get out there right now and rent it, and if you have, well join the club of fully satisfied costumers.

diaface "Tart" had the potential to be a good film. It started off strong with the relationship between Cat and Delilah however, as the movie progressed it went rapidly into a downward spiral. The characters (all with the exception of Delilah) were undeveloped and lacked originality. It seemed like this movie tried to be more teen angst than it was. Honestly, who wants to watch a story about a bunch of f****d up kids? The characters were really hard to relate to because they were so poorly thought up. The only good thing about this movie was Delilah, once she was out of the picture the movie was pointless and completely boring. It does not make you think or inspire people, it makes them bored. The only thing I thought about during this movie is "when will it end?" and "why the f**k did they get rid of Delilah? the one thing they had going for them." Watch the first thirty minutes of the movie, then turn it off, and never think about it again.
