Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life

Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Gaylord McGee (gayinfolsom) This one was really bad, really flaky. It is a story of a strung out unstable girl who doesn't know what she wants and pretends to be in love with some walking stereo-type because she feels sorry for herself and wants to kill herself and sabotage her life. The acting is done by a reluctant actress which is perfect because it portrays what the average girl would be like in such a situation (sarcastic, lying, only doing it to hurt others and sabotage herself instead of suicide.) What a depressing bad-romp. It is filled with every kind of insulting blatant stereo-type and a propaganda of hatred toward white males. This has such a hateful rhetoric that it would be on par with movies that the Nazis would have made. Moral of the story is don't half-bad things in life.. do what you do with your whole being without being hurt, don't do things sarcastically, put your whole being into it. When you do not then you are promoting the most disgusting selfish kind of hatred no different than Nazi propaganda.

VisualAssault Watching this film and then reeding that it barely payed for it self in theaters seemed to me a bit odd 'cos it's not bad at all. Crazy/Beautiful is a refreshing switch from all those stupid and overexploited teen films. The story feels genuine and does without any unnecessary babble. Also the actors give a fairly convincing performance. Kirsten's very charming and the lack of make-up really helps to reveal her beauty. Same goes with Taryn, almost to the point that she nearly steals a few scenes (we no longer see her this way, sadly). A word or two has to be said about the soundtrack: well selected, and nicely accentuating the whole film. All in all Crazy/Beautiful doesn't try to win Oscars, but because of that it does win your heart.

highmanblueberrycodein All of Kirsten Dunst's movies I am impressed with.She has a good eye for good rolls and I enjoy every movie that she has been in.this is one that is right up there with The Virgin Suicides for me.Crazy/Beautiful was so wonderfully off-beat and laid back for me it made me see California in a totally different way then total L.A. and Hollywood.I love Kirsten's character Nicole Oakley the to-fast-for-life 17 year old who is struggling with a relationship with her father and trying to forget about her mothers suicide.until she meets Carlos Nunez.a fellow student at Pacific High School.her and Carlos Become closer and have a very serious and deep relationship until Nicole's father Tom Oakley urges Carlos to stay away from Nicole if he wants him to sign his recommendation for Annapolis's.Nicoles friend Maddie (played by Taryn Manning) is a comfort to Nicole and so is her alcohol,drug,and party addiction as she tries to cop with the loss of Carlos.until Carlos realizes he wants to be with Nicole more than going to Annapolis's.the two run away until Nicole decides she wants to make things right so the two return and Nicoles father thanks Carlos for not taking his advise and staying with Nicole.a very beautiful movie You'll want to watch more then once with lovable Characters and good morals.

philip-ct Kudos to the two leads! Kristin Dunst plays an ambitionless, drug- and drink ridden rich white girl, Nicole Oakley, and Jay Hernandez plays Carlos Nunez, a poor boy, Mexican, who is the opposite of Nicole.Yet the two "fall in love" and the film explores attraction amidst different cultures, values and personalities. The acting throughout is natural, the script is perceptive, and the film manages to avoid the stupid excesses and crass laughs of many "teenage" films.It's a film that makes no demands on the viewer, is watchable and "sweet". Certainly not to be avoided! There are some good moments, and (despite a predictable end). The music is good, and the film keeps one watching, translating well to TV.
