plex I was born in the early 60s and grew up in the 70's during my teen years. As a young man, I loved that time: love was open, recreational drugs were plentiful, the economy was decent, and oh, a lot of chicks didn't wear bras. I have read ( yet cannot confirm) that Dunst has some sort of no-bra policy, but I don't recall her mandate ever being obvious in her other films. In this case, it sort of throws a monkey wrench in the credibility machine. Allow me to explain. If you are a teacher or principal at a high school, a doting FATHER, fellow friend, unknown person you engage in public, or a woman who is hell-bent on judging you who has given birth by your father, I cannot imagine ANY scenario where NO ONE ever makes a comment that this teenager never wears a bra, and on top of that, seemingly never washes her greasy hair. This simply makes no sense to me. She not only goes braless, but also wears cut off t-shirts or shirts that are open on the sides, SO, the look is intentional/deliberate and is accentuated. Kirsten's bulbous CC-cups( just guessing the size) bounces throughout the entire film and no one ever seems to care or even notices the slutty appearance of a character who is only 17-18. Even her gal-pal goes braless in a couple of scenes and in a long segment of the movie, she jokes about her forgetting to wear a top. ( she's wearing a micro bra or bikini AS a top) So, at this point I have to conclude this may be not a mandate by our lead but some sort of fantasy whipped up by one of the producers or the director. In 2001, its entirely inappropriate to unilaterally condone this look for a teenager. Thing is, at the core, its a decent teen-romance film, replete with come cliché's but its cool anyway. We LIKE the characters. There's decent acting chops here, along with marginal writing and production skills. Its a good movie. But there is definitely an intent by whomever, for me to be distracted by bouncing breasts, which ( even though titillating) is wildly inappropriate and unrealistically presented in this context.

pikazu This movie is one of my favourites. It went right into my heart. And the soundtracks were brilliant. I still like to hear them sometimes when I'm home. This movie is so romantic but also dramatic. The young girls in this movie is fighting with herself for her future. She is having problems with life. I think she is too good, so she can barely take what's happening around her. Although she isn't living a bad life in a bad neighbourhood. But how the teenagers are, they are rebellious, but she isn't stupid. She isn't after boys and she can see things much more clearly. Her mother is dead, so she has a reason to be how she is, she hasn't got over it. And her father is very concerned about her.She want's to escape from everything by drinking and smoking weed (like 50% of teenagers)and fooling around and playing with people. She isn't concerned about what others are thinking about her, some are thinking that she is cold and doesn't care about anything, but that's a facade.It is the kind of movie, where you don't expect a happy end, but hope for it, and you will be positively surprised.My favourite scenes are the ones, where she is photographing. She was making so beautiful photos. It seemed like those photos where having so much heart, they seemed warm and cosy. I could feel the love between Nicole and Carlos.It is also the movie, where I fell in "love" with Kirsten Dunst. I can't say I'm a fan of hers. I don't run to see a movie of hers just because...I pick out movies, that have spirit. And she is a talent in picking out movies. You should only see the list of her movies. Well, not all of them are my type of movies, but the most are. "Little Women" was my favourite cartoon, when I was a child. I watched the movie actually because of Claire Danes. She is also an original and has been one of my favourite actresses many years. Now Kirsten is in that category too. She is so talented and beautiful. I would say she is a "deep" person. And she really touched my heart. She is exactly the type of people I like personally. She brings joy to life. Not many people can be so positive. I don't want to describe the movie, everyone should watch it them self. It is worth it. Makes us to think about the situations we put ourselves into.

bigstud69 Hi my name is Tom Barry and I don't know why this movie is so underrated. It's totally my favorite movie ever. Kirsten Dunst is the absolute best thing to happen to Hollywood since Tom Cruise. I love her so much and I love all her movies. In this movie she plays a tough girl with some serious problems, but then she meets the guy of her dreams who makes everything alright again. Oh boy, this is a recipe for movie magic! I honestly think this is the most perfect movie ever made. The acting is so realistic and emotional. Jay Hernandez has his break out role in this movie. If you thought he was good in Hostel, you'll love him in this one. But Kirsten steals the show with her magnetic smile and stunning bod. I think about her performance every night before I go to sleep, this movie has affected me that much. Obviously, there is something in my personal life that relates so much to this movie, but I still think it is the most overlooked movie ever."You are Crazy/Beautiful" ---- best quote ever!

Mr_Sensitive I feel this is more of an attempt kind of film. They try to make it a good, passionate, and dramatic movie, but the outcome this movie is just not really up to the standard. It is as if I was watching a first year film student work.It was a Hugh disappointment, especially with the cast they've got; they can do a lot more. It started from the very loose script putting together. The characters are not fully developed, and some part is just wrong. And the directing is nothing worthy.Final Words: The story has a potential to be good, but not this movie. Watching it is a torture; like watching Cross Road of Britney. And this is one movie of Kristen Dunst I'll not watch again.Rating: 5/10 (Grade: D)
