cinematic masterpiece. no doubts.

Rating: 9/10 (3 December 2004)

This movie is by far one of the most interesting films I've ever seen. I own the DVD and have watched it more than 10 times, at the very least. What I like about this movie is the fact that most of the plots we take for granted are taken to new heights here. "Boo!" to all of you folks who hated it, but I only assume you were expecting to see a PREDICTABLE movie. It steps out-of-the-box with the intricate design of each of the characters, with their inclusion only deepening the plot. The normal twists you find in a regular teen romance movie are finally SECONDARY to the main character's life! He falls and GETS the girl after the first 20 minutes of the movie... and THANK GOD for that. It tweaked my interests from the very start, because you see GETTING the girl isn't as easy as KEEPING her!! Notice at the end of the film, the way he "accidentally" introduces each of the characters to be who they really turn out to be (for HIM) in the end... i.e. Kelly as the Student Adviser. All the old plots and story lines are thrown out of the window for this one. FINALLY! Our generation is old enough to digest some MEAT! Provoke us! We DESERVE our 8 bucks worth. Well done, Luke.
