Possibly a gang-related movie

Rating: 9/10 (13 October 2004)

I saw this movie for the first time the other day. I thought it was pretty good after watching it for awhile. Julia Stiles is a good actress. I will look for more of her movies in the future. This love story was a kind of behind the scenes type of thing when the boyfriend gets accepted to Georgetown to get a degree and get away from the inner city. However, there's the girlfriend, played by Stiles that comes from the Midwest and gets in the inner city. So you have the "opposites attract" type of thing going on. I like that idea. I also liked the part where they get into each other's music and culture. We can learn a lot from each other if we really put our minds to it. I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone.
