Reach out, touch faith

Rating: 6/10 (21 May 2003)

Finally it was nice to see a movie that was welcomed by most of the viewers and had a definitive thought process. Things like this usually stay within the realm of independent movies and fortunately it got the credit it deserved. The plot wasn't really exhausted except for the portrayed verisimilitude of teen life, which they did a good job fulfilling. Everyone fit their characters, and casting Jake Gyllenhaal and Jena Malone gratified the hope of good teenage acting (which has really seemed to diminish over the last decade.) To tear apart a movie on the basis of minor plot complications demonstrates idleness. If you're going to watch this movie, do so with a brain.
