Overrated tripe

Rating: 5/10 (18 July 2001)

This is one of the most overrated pieces of wannabe-edgy tripe to come out of Hollywood in a long time. A great cast sleepwalks through a cliched take on dysfunctional surburbia. This is white America's version of those horrid BOYZ IN THE HOOD knock-offs that followed that film. BUFFALO 66 and THE ICE STORM cover this ground much better.
