75A messy but hungry film like this is more interesting than cool technical perfection.
-
75Sloppy, self-satisfied and surprisingly heartfelt.
-
63Less an updated version of the Dostoevsky novel than an unusually somber Hollywood teen love story.
-
60Melodramatic look at alienated California high school students.
-
48Somehow manages to stay afloat on a sea of pretension, thanks largely to some splashy visuals.
-
40The whole point is nothing more than the revelation that the terrain of suburbia is populated with damaged people inflicting damage on others. This is still news?
-
38Just say no.
-
30Often succumbs to the craven hysteria perhaps inherent in its hoary premise.
-
25Not faithful enough to be an adaptation, too misguided to be considered an interpretation, and not funny enough to be a parody, this film would do well not to advertise its inspiration.
-
20Even dressed up in tabloid lighting and cut with jagged edits, this pulp nihilism never goes beyond daytime TV banality.
-
20A cut above the usual teenage-wasteland movie.
-
20Completed before the release of "American Beauty," this contrived, puffed up little picture nonetheless seems like a ripoff, perhaps because it mines the same tired assumptions and unexamined stereotypes about suburban family life.
-
10The "crime" was that it was made in the first place and the "punishment" is having to watch it.
-
0A somber, draggy, deadweight, lugubrious, absurdly self serious version of ''American Beauty.''
