Very predictable, but enjoyable film. 95 minutes of cool camera work and a neat blend of music. But, I think it should not have received a PG 13 rating, should be R. Sexual content galore. My oh my, wouldn't the parents love to see what there 13-16 year old kids are exposed to in this film. Sad to say that I don't see this movie bringing in alot of $$$$$$$. But, I would go out and buy the soundtrack. Very cool opening and closing graphics and credits.

I saw this film on June 29, 2001, at the Muvico Parisian 20 at Cityplace in Palm Beach, Florida. Overall I enjoyed the film--but the presentation was lacking any sort of quality. The movie itself has a good story, but was pretty much predictable to the end. As for the presentation.... the first thing that nailed me is the tear in the screen at the lower right hand corner. The masking was set for scope and it is a flat film. Once the previews began there was only one trailer, a Dolby snipe, and then the Muvico policy... followed by another trailer. I'm not sure of the way Muvico does their trailer packages, but I'm pretty sure they wouldn't have trailers lead into a policy (which says... Feature Presentation) lead into the attached trailer of Corky Romano. The first two reels were done well, with the splice between the two perfect. The following reels were covered in dirt and the splices terrible--with the sound popping on one of them. The film opened today all ready looks like it is on its 300th run. This was a prime example of carelessness in the booth and completely turns me away from seeing another film at the Muvico Parisian 20. That's my two cents.

I haven't seen it yet - but from what I have seen ... it looks like a PG-13 rated porn. Every time I walk past the projector, they're having sex.

Ah yes, but we you expecting more from a chick that's drunk and on Paxil???? You are right about the tons of sex in the film. Nothing is shown, just implied. But, the girls in the film all seem to wear extremely tight t-shirts, and that gets old really quick. Other than that, I did enjoy the film, and mostly the cool soundtrack.
