Funny-sad

Rating: Null/10 (22 February 2001)

This must be one of the best "teen" films ever made. I resisted watching it for a while because "it looked boring". It's not boring! This work explores the depths of feeling of 5 teenagers in a way that is totally realistic. The dialog and interaction between the characters is perfectly done, exactly as teens would have done it. There are 5 totally distinct personalities and they begin to understand one another as they talk out pretty much anything and everything. Some of the dialog is serious, some inane. Don't try to think of it as a comedy, because it isn't. There are some moments of levity, but this is a serious film! Watch this in one sitting and you will enjoy it better.
