Audience Member A sleeper from the mid 2000's with a banger of a soundtrack and ensemble cast you'd be shocked to see nowadays. Really leans in to the cheap almost Disney-fied facade of that outer-Los Angeles suburban life. Such a satisfying ending too. Even bought it on DVD! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/17/25 Full Review Salem T A movie from my highschool years revisited, that did not disappoint. Well casted and thoughtful. The movie is definitely a slow build, sometimes adding characters before telling you their significance. The teens' reliance (in different ways) on prescription pills and their parents obliviousness, feels very accurate as someone who spectated on middle class dynamics, in my own youth. Dean (Bell) is believable as the over medicated loner, and the scene where he finally approaches Troy's mother (Close) is heart wrenching. Definitely give this a watch if you have the patience to let it all play out. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/12/24 Full Review Audience Member Great movie. Alot of life lessons in it. So many unique and different things happening at once. Good characters. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/30/24 Full Review mark g Tedious, just tedious. Poor character development and numerous scenes are just simplistic and nonsensical. Wanted to like it, but realized the whole plot was on idle. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/09/24 Full Review Audience Member In this movie, you can gain an understanding of what led to the massacre at Columbine High school in Colorado, 1999. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review isla s This is a film about teenage angst, about being ignored by your teenage peers in relation to one character and parents who barely acknowledge you, in relation to another. Its a dark comedy with some interesting angles. I don't think it'd appeal to everyone but for what it is, its not bad. I'd have liked to have learnt a bit more about one or two people and there is perhaps a little too much going on with the many sub-plots but its a relatively easy watch and its an alright film overall. Its an alright piece of social commentary certainly. Its partly about self absorption and keeping-up-with-the-jones'. It has quite an eery tone and if your very squeamish then I wouldn't recommend it due to an upsetting moment present (I won't go into details so as not to spoil it but its not the obvious one mentioned in the plot synopsis). I wouldn't overly recommend it as such - its an ok film, maybe worth a watch if it comes on TV but otherwise I wouldn't go out of your way to see it as such.
