A teen movie that tries, Stiles impresses

Rating: 7/10 (23 January 2001)

This film is not about dancing, or a white girl in a black person world... It's about an interracial relationship between Sara and Derek. Sara is played by Julia Stiles who stared in Ten things I hate About You, a teen adaption of Shakespears: Tamping of the Shrew. You can't compare the two movies, other than the fact that both of them were well liked by critics, while still being classified as "teen movies."
Stiles has what it takes to be a star in hollywood. If one thing that this movie proves, it's that Stiles will go on to bigger and better things (or atleast so I hope).
I have read a few reviews knocking the dialogue in the film as being simple. I thought that it was better in that way because most teen movies contain teens with quirky smart talk that never happens in real life.
The movie starts off simple and leads you on a journey with many twists that you don't expect.
Pete's Movie Rating (out of 10): 7
