GamerTab That was an excellent one.

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

leplatypus I don't really get into this movie as it's a totally outmoded now with the today cellphones, social networks, etc… The period was not mine either because i was already too old. Thus except Holly and the atemporal parenthood / teen thematic, i don't have other connections and maybe that explains why i was bored ! The image quality was far from good with this blue, greenish look and this family is a big nonsense : if all parents were unable to educate, supervise their teen because they work or because they have a love story, that would be the most shameful excuse ! Sure as a teen, i resented parental check-up, i tried some awkward experiences but this is a prerequisite to autonomy as an adult ! As it's an almost feminist movie (mothers & daughters) and because i feel more nerd, i felt expelled. The only good moment was the shopping because as I went there too and now I can tell that LA isn't as glamorous as we can think : Hollywood boulevard really stinks with weirdos ! At last, it's again a movie in which Holly loses all her charm and i deeply regret her early ones !

ComedyFan2010 In this teenage movie we see Tracy (Evan Rachel Wood) trying to be popular by becoming friends with Evie (Nikki Reed) who is a bad influence on her life.Many criticize it for being too unrealistic and I absolutely disagree with this. My life was not like that when I was 13, and yet I know many who went that way around that age.What they do is nothing so extreme (besides maybe cutting) that is unthinkable for teenagers to do and we should remember that it took a whole school semester for all this to happen. It is not shocking as in surprising that it happens, it is just could be shocking because even though one knows it happens it is still hard to see someone that young going through it. I didn't really feel like that simply because the girls seem way older than 13.I was not to impressed with young actresses. I liked the story but their performance on the other hand was exaggerated. I also had trouble feeling the exact nature of their friendship. Was there genuine liking or they were just both trying to use each other.On the other hand Holly Hunter was absolutely perfect in her role. I also liked Jeremy Sisto who was performing her boyfriend. Both had great performance and dynamics. It was great to see Hunter's character Mel trying to deal with her daughter.The movie is also very fast paced and energetic. Great camera work. Absolutely loved the ending. very powerful and top notch performances.So all in all a good movie with some weaknesses.

Danii Disaster I don't know why this movie has gotten so many positive reviews. Thank God I didn't pay to watch it. I found a DVD in a hotel room, and, since there was nothing better to do at the time, decided to watch it. It's not very good to say the least. In fact, one of the worst teen movies I have seen -- and I've seen PLENTY. THE PLOT:Can be summarized in one sentence: A supposedly "good" teen mixes with the "wrong" crowd and gets in trouble. We have seen this before dozens of times, but this has to be the worst attempt at rehashing an already overused storyline. Nothing original here, except - they are trying TOO hard to shock the viewer, but end up with a totally unconvincing, dull and over-acted excuse for a movie. Annoying to some extent, but mostly boring, uncool and predictable. CHARACTERS: Character development is non-existent. You know nothing about these people, except that they're trailer trash. The lead actress is obnoxious. You can't relate to her, and feel no sympathy for her at any given moment. She has no personality whatsoever. There is no way the "popular girl" (Evie) could pass for a teenager. It was ridiculous to cast her as a 13-year-old. She'll be hard-pressed to pass for an 18-year-old, let alone 13. The acting is not great. The characters are one-dimensional, and many of them are trying too hard (over-acting). THE MESSAGE: I'm not sure I understand the point of this movie. What is the message? If I understand correctly, the message is... if you want to fit in with the popular kids, you must:(1) Dress like a cheap prostitute. (2) Sleep with every guy at school + hit on everything that moves (male, female, old, young, ugly... whatever). (3) Pretend to be bisexual. (4) Use drugs. (5) Engage in some form of self-mutilation. (6) Get as many piercings as possible.(7) Steal from your family, friends, shops, etc. (8) Genuinely despise your loved ones. (9) Dispose of your old friends when they no longer benefit you. (10) Have no ambition in life other than partying. TO SUMMARIZE I don't know what could possibly be appealing about movie. It was supposed to be shocking and realistic, but it fails miserably at both. Are they trying to say that this is what a typical teenager is like? Or supposed to be like? Well... I really doubt it. This movie is about retarded inbred underage whores, not typical teenagers. The whole movie is boring, predictable, stupid and badly acted, but the ending takes the biscuit - it's totally incoherent and makes zero sense. I wouldn't watch this crap again; not even if they paid me to.

kols Was hooked from the first scene and thank god it wasn't made by a Frenchperson. Because it runs on all of the things I hate about European movies: roving cameras, POV, extreme close-ups, irrational cuts, dislikeable characters being dislikeable, no discernible plot and so on.Or Canadian: not a whiff of PC.Instead, everything works in a tale told in chaos skating on the edge of a cliff, ending in a shaky affirmation.I could cite chapter and verse but the first few scenes do that better than any review, though it is pleasing to see so many of the reviewers here doing just that. And to see so many who appreciate it on its own terms.Finally, Evan Wood is the movie. Somehow, she makes you care about her character and Nikki Reed is her perfect foil, like Iago gleefully dragging Othello to hell. Holly Hunter's performance is delightfully understated. Most of the males, being adolescents, are irritating as hell but they're believable and well-acted, as are all of the characters.Final final, surprised at how few of the reviews were negative given both the subject matter and the presentation. Just as I automatically view many European films as exercises in clumsy masturbation, I can see how many of the movie's elements could be turnoffs on first view. That so few reacted that way I can only credit to Ms. Wood's performance.
