Horrible!!

Rating: Null/10 (6 March 2004)

Possibly the worst movie Julia Stiles has ever made. She's not bad in the movie, although she could have been better, and even more to the point, they probably could have casted someone better than her in it.
The script should have been looked over a few more times before they actually went into production, and the plot was so distressing and horrible, that I wanted to cry because of what a bad movie this was. Sean Patrick Thomas, was really good and I thought that he did do a very convincing job in the film (but on the other hand, how hard was his character?). Stiles really needs to find better work than this. I really didn't like the transformation her character made from the beginning of the movie to the end of it. To me, she got worse not better by the end of the film, and she was supposed to seem 'helped'?
I give the movie a 3.5 out of 10. Some good scenes, boring parts with dancing, horrible script, trashy sexual sequences and not at all very realistic. But...if you like to watch freak dancing, be my guest. You'll enjoy it thoroughly in that case. But for real Stiles fans, don't get your hopes up for anything spectacular.
