Ehirerapp Waste of time

SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

CarrieSpicoli If you're like me, a lover of the cast and/or indie films themselves, you might be able to sit through this film. But if you aren't a fan of either, and take an interest in this movie based on the cover and description, you'll most likely be disappointed. Even I wasn't exactly blown away, which is one of the first time's I can say that after viewing a film with Brad Renfro in it.Tart tries to add some interesting sub-plots to the otherwise overused plot (awkward, unpopular teenager wants to change her life, joins new crowd, falls in love, new crowd and new boyfriend turn out to be bad people etc.) with things like Cat, the main characters (played by Dominique Swain), younger brother being a 9 year-old hypochondriac, Cat's father being Jewish (one of Cat's "new friends" is anti-semantic, another thing that just pops up out of nowhere then goes away) and all these other new girls among the popular crowd just kind of come on to the scene without a really good introduction (with the possible exception of Eloise, played by Lacey Chabert). Another problem is the lack of character development. One minute Cat is shy and set against doing any of the "bad stuff" the popular kids do, another she is at a ball with her love interest, William (Brad Renfro) suddenly getting, high, drunk, and losing her virginity. Everything after that film is sped up and not very thoroughly explained, like William suddenly starts rumors about her and leaves her, all the girls (who are basically all clones of each other, plus Mischa Barton with a British accent) stop talking to her, and suddenly there's about twenty minutes left of this film. How is everything going to be explained by then, you may wonder. well, it's not.Instead, it just ends with Cat rekindling her friendship with Delilah (Bijou Phillips) her jagged, but one true friend who she ditched at the beginning of the film for the popular crowd, then it follows Delilah catching William in a compromising position with a man in the woods, and is soon after murdered for her remarks. I guess this was the director, Christina Wayne's attempt at a big "twist" ending, but instead it's just frustrating that the entire movie is wrapped up on that note, and the ending is just Cat having a loving moment with her mom, who she had spent the entire movie arguing with.That being said, I could still bear to sit through this film again, but if you've seen just about any other works of Renfro, Phillips, or Swain, this doesn't compare.

djheroinchic While the film was an enjoyable experience, it didn't have the impact of a hard hitting drama. It felt like there wasn't a whole lot of substance. Another weak point of the film was "the woods" scene. It wasn't overly convincing.The acting was good, but not as good as it should have been based on the cast. Bijou Phillips was a stand out, we see a little bit of her Bully character here. Dominique Swain did well, but no one else really stood out. Mischa Barton was disappointing, she was far better in Lost & Delirious.The direction wasn't fantastic, but it fit the tone of the film. It's a good rental if you're in the mood for a drama, but it's a bit lacking for a buy.

SIAURA234 this movie was very blue,and not so entertaining. in my opinion the sound was not clear on some parts. most of all it was just kind of hard to watch and i just didn't like it. The title,sex,drugs,and study hall soundsjuicy but the movie does not live up to thecatchy box. instead its a pitiful excuse of a low budget movie. i found it neither touching or funny. if you want to see something long and blue go and rent this movie.for the people to be rich, the sets looked boring and mundane for no reason. the best part is when the character was happy for a short moment.

caspian1978 Where is the ending to this movie? Did they forget to cut and paste an ending to this half baked movie? Where is the moral? The climax? Oh yeah, the character development? I think they lost the director half way through production and one of the PA's started to give orders. Dominique Swain is the only aspect worth watching in this garbage. Why oh why must she take every film opportunity that comes her way? This movie could have been huge. Instead, it failed without having any motivated drive from lack of story and lack of interesting characters. Still, it has its moments but doesn't add up to a good movie
