Worthless for anyone with taste

Rating: 2/10 (12 March 2006)

An awful waste of time that piggy-backs itself on the current music and art "scene" which is so devoid of content or depth, that it helps sink this film instead of enhancing it like so many others have pointed out. No, the soundtrack was not cool; almost no "cool" music has been recorded for years. The Shins have about as much credibility as the Black Eyed Peas. OK, that sounds cynical, but EMO and the rest of this crap is not art.
As far as the film itself goes; what is there to say that hasn't already been said by the people who wisely gave it a rating of 3 or less. It's a clichéd, boring, sophomoric piece of crap. I would have hated this movie in high school, so I really don't know how it appealed to so many young people, critics included. My fiancée and I were appalled.
Don't waste your time watching 5 minutes of this literary and directorial train-wreck. Don't believe the hype (how is this rated 8.0 as of this writing on IMDb?) Don't see it!!!
