Griff Lees Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

esolis20041 When I started watching this series I was instantly taken by the sweetness, seriousness and interesting lives of the kids' characters. A refreshing change from other WB series' characters with little substance to offer viewers. Indeed, how could the WB not have closed the series with resolutions? "Young Americans" is my favorite WB series other than "Dawson's Creek" (very different story lines). A thread that interests me is the intriguing possibilities of the Senator due to how he spent his Rawley years. Mrs. Krudski's 'looks' continue to make me wonder every time Will mentions the nice man who let him drive the neat car in the Parking Lot. Might she have also dated the good Senator? Will (beautifully & sensitively played by Rodney Scott, a young actor with THE most perfect face, ever, and a sensitivity and intelligence which makes me feel angry toward his father for his seeming disinterest in his own incredible son), to me, is the most interesting character as he is the glue that brings everyone around him, together - might he ever resolve his differences at home with Dad? Can winning, confident and handsome Scout ever be completely sure of his father (The Senator), again? The Senator seems like a nice man who may have had a youthful indiscretion! Will Bella, perfectly played by Kate Bosworth, ever find the illusive answer to her biological question? Her mother's abandonment has been tough on her (and stepfather, Charlie.) Small a role as Charlie the mechanic has, I like him immensely for the love and respect he shows Bella, his adopted step-daughter! Will Jacqueline (Jake) reveal her 'Rawley' identity to her mother? Will Hamilton's parents resolve their differences? Mother and Finn, well, excuse me! Etc., etc., etc. I feel that the WB made a HUGE mistake not continuing the series wounding me severely when they canceled it! It might easily have lasted several seasons for its intelligent writing, directing and acting. Steven Antin, what wonderful writing you usually do - though, nothing comes up to the concept of YA. Since, it was cancelled, perhaps, one fine day, you'll be able to get the same actors to play the same roles some years into their futures. All of us who love these characters and story would be right there to see what happened to them, to a person! So many characters including: Will's best childhood friend, also, interested in Bella, Sean; and Finn, who, also, hails from New Rawley - the town. WB, please, put the 8 episodes out on DVD!!! Also, perhaps one day you'll divulge WHY you canceled it??? The truth! Numerous International fans are interested!!!

PoliticChik87 The WB was foolish in not continuing this show. It was so wonderful and it is a shame most didn't see the fruits of creative and hard labor.Young Americans was truly just an amazing show. It was beautiful. Everything about it. The cast, the writing, even its cinematography was good. This show was rich with drama, realistic interaction, and honesty.This was so well done with great friendships, a beautiful and moving romance story, and a challenge to society all in just a few episodes.This show challenged sex, social norms, and institution. I loved this show and I wish it had not ended. But then again its end meant that it could not be ruined.

websurfer7685 This was an excellent show. I don't know why it did bad in the ratings. Maybe there was some sort of mix up. I was very disappointed when they cancelled it. But they can at least release it on DVD to make up for ripping out our hearts when they took it off they air.I think the acting was great. Kate Moennig did a wonderful job in her challenging role.I love Ian Somerhalder. One of the main reasons I became interested in Lost was because I saw that he was going to be in it and I remembered him from this show.Young Americans was the kind of show that made you feel something. It had a way of awakening you. I would love for them to bring it back. But unfortunately that is very unlikely to happen.If they do ever release this show on DVD, I recommend that you get it. Especially if you've never seen it before. Then you can see what I'm talking about.

Alieleila I don't understand why this show was canceled! With the wonderful storylines that were going on everyone was tied to their TVs! After the season finale I couldn't wait till the next season! It never came back though... I'm very dissapointed and hope there is SOME way the show could come back!
