Better than expected

Rating: 10/10 (13 March 2004)

This movie is apparently coming out April 9 now; maybe they want to get more press first. I got to see a sneak preview, and this movie actually made me feel for the characters at the end. Strange, but true. It has bits of everything - drama, comedy, etc. Mostly too bizarre to be real but has a strange touch of believability. You'll probably be able to find some character in the story to relate to -- the nerdy kid, the popular guy, etc. I really did not think that this movie would be something I'd watch other than for Elisha Cuthbert (certainly, it doesn't hurt that she's mezmorizing), but I'd say on the whole it was really well done, and something completely different from what movies are like these days. This isn't a rehash of anything, so it's worth a watch.
