Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.
Connianatu How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Carmen Romeo This is a movie about some vapid white broads. That chick from some Disney flick was in it. Some people think she's hot; meh, if you like potato chips. Her boyfriend buys some sticks and stems from some lil bite sized vato with a NKOTB ponytail. Next thing you know, Disney chick is trying to earn her merit badge for humping an authentic brown person. One of her lame friends insists she wants to take on three brown wieners at the same time, therefore making her the most coolest girl in their white suburbanite high school. But as it turns out, she tapped out after two. So she runs out of the room crying because her sphincter is irritated. Next thing you know, three poor hombres are getting charged with rape. Moral of this movie? Never trust a succubus white she devil...Oh and that one dude from Training Day was in it. I liked him though. He was cool. That is all.
RavenGlamDVDCollector It is not really the movie itself I want to talk about. The movie itself is quite disappointing. Seems the Walt Disney actress took on a challenge to prove she was all nicely grown up, and bared her breasts, and I'm not complaining, only she should have done that in a better movie. Kind of like "the only thing HAVOC got going for it, is : you know that chick from THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA? Bares her breasts here." Psst! Little Suzy next door's favorite flick THE PRINCESS DIARIES, better not let little Suzy see this one! She'd be traumatized!The movie can only be fun if you're partial to gang-bangers and the lowlife hip-hop lifestyle. A girl like Anne Hathaway seems very obviously to have a brain that is too interconnected to fall for these dung-beetles. She is playing against type, and she fails miserably at it. Oddly enough, Bijou Philips, whom I like, make no mistake, fits in. She seems convincingly jaded enough, I suppose I'm trying to say. But I fail to see what any (white, privileged) girl would see in the cockroaches. Physical attraction? Aren't we guys always reminded in typical youth culture shows (90210, THE O.C.) that girls only go for the coolest guys? And girls tend to dress up as if they're going out to the prom every night of their lives. Why would they want to be with scumbag baboons? Stick with me and I'll reveal the answer!It's not because they find these miscreants attractive. Not even their own mothers could find hoodlums attractive. It's the thrill of danger. They get all excited about being SO OUT THERE and they get off on their own excitement. It is why Allison so earnestly explains everything with "we get so ****ing bored!"It is a sad state when the youth of a great nation, the greatest nation ever, is so corrupted by cheap influences. Be worried, White America, be very worried. Your borders were infiltrated from within, and you're going to sink, and there's nothing that Homeland Security can do. A cultural revolution has undermined the standards of decency. The communists have won. The devil's music indeed.I'm sorry but these are the thoughts racing through my mind watching this. I believe in the beautiful creation that is mankind as I used to know it, the all-American look of days now gone by, I do not like to see it thrown away.Wake up, decent America. For the sake of your daughters. And the beautiful fair-skinned babies they are no longer going to have once this world becomes a melting pot of mixed races.I repeat that the movie itself is mostly a bummer. It does evoke very strong feelings though, as you could hear.By the way, I'd bet all the dollars in the world Anne Hathaway couldn't have enjoyed filming this. I think she still shudders thinking back about it.
me-ga-sa It was more like a parody than a serious movie, the acting was really bad. Everything was hardly believable. What the hell Anne Hathaway was doing in this??? She didn't fit in, it was the most inappropriate role for her. How could she even agree to this? Joseph Gordon-Levitt was the most funny one. I couldn't understand what was he doing. Mike Vogel looked stupid. Nothing seemed serious. How can so many actors play so bad in one movie? Only the latinos were seeming believable. That was just plain ridiculous. I just wish the camera boy was Aaron Ashmore, he would make a movie worth some more points. And what was that all about? Apart from the horrible acting the movie has nothing interesting in it's plot. Why did they make it at all?? I am shocked how a movie with so many famous actors can be so crappy. How did they make them all act so bad?? Seriously??
christopher-underwood I bought this on DVD very cheaply, almost exclusively because I thought the title was great. Checking the film out on IMDb upon my return home and I wondered if I would ever watch it. So many reviewers tell of the irritating way the male rich kids are always aping the gangster classes and the girls talking in that affected cluck-cluck way. The fact hip-hop does little for me looked like I was set for some fast forwarding. How wrong I was. This is one heck of a good movie. OK, I don't suppose every little rich boy is quite as silly as those depicted and same goes for the girls, BUT there is more than an element of truth here. Even as an oldie living in the UK, I am aware of kids speaking and acting like this, so I'm pretty certain it happens in the US. We must have copied from somewhere! I'm also sure that East LA could never look as potentially glamorous as this BUT, this was written by a young girl of 16 and at the very least this is fantasy. And why would this fantasy persist? Why might poor little rich girls want to risk all for a potentially exciting bout of carnal pleasure? Why indeed BUT, surely we have seen this theme explored a thousand times and always we exclaim that a woman could not be so foolish, that she would surely stay with her own kind. Oh yeah? Anyway it happens and it is depicted here with great candour and skill. A very grubby and absorbing morality tale of what happens when a couple of nubile white chicks stumble into an episode of 'The Wire'.
