The burlesque take on high school has some fine, ridiculous moments and lets the movie get away with more than a serious drama might.
Teenagers are jerks (it’s a scientific fact) but if you have one as your protagonist, they need a redeeming quality or two.
The script is short on details and insight, and when asked to comment on this condition — or the script's sketch of a culture on the cusp of the Internet revolution — the film, like its dirtbag protagonist, just shrugs.
The fact that Jolie isn't very likable would be less of a problem if this film were actually funny, but his selfish disregard for those around him only ends up making us feel bad for the people who care about him.
