Rating: Summary: It's a good movie! Review: This movie is a work of art. A little dark for me, but it is really different, and it really makes you think. This movie is worth seeing.
Rating: Summary: simply beautiful Review: This movie is absolutely beautiful. There are so many movies about teenagers dealing with growing up, but this one is a refreshing new edition. The writing and direction are sincere and genuine. All the actors are perfectly cast and provide spectacular performances. Adrian Grenier is one of the most talented actors out there, in my opinion. I hope to see much more from Grenier and Tod Williams in the future.

Rating: Summary: ... Review: This movie is poignant, beautiful, and wonderfully portrayed. Adrian Grenier is amazing. The tone is reminiscant of a cross between Heathers and The Outsiders, you cant help but laugh, empathize, and feel sorry for the world. Dont get this movie if you dont want to think about it.
Rating: Summary: An Oddball Adventure Review: This movie may seem a little weird at first, but it's defiantely worth a look. Sebastian Cole is played very well by Adrian Grenier, who oddly enough starred as well in the not quite as satisfying "Drive Me Crazy." Go figure. You might want to rent before buying though.

Rating: Summary: Excellent Movie and Soundtrack Review: This should be re-named "Everybody Loves Sebastian". The 1983 rural go-nowhere town high school junior (or senior? - they seemd to flip flop on that one) with weird hair and "Leo-like" good looks has a big plate full of issues. His step-dad announces definite plans to have a sex-change operation, upon which his mom calls the marriage quits; Sebastian is called the "f" word by everyone and their mother, all-the-while "kissing around" with various girls, getting high on Ready-Whip at a supermarket, saving a "strawberry" prostitue from the clutches of her ruthless pimp; Sebastian's "buddies" make Eddie Haskal look like a choir boy, bad association doesn't get much worse; Sebastian seems to go for "Harold's" suicide attempts record (although he won't admit suicidal tendanccies); For no apparent reason the genius level SAT scoring Sebastian MUST graduate a year early, although he has no clue about the future, nor does he want to attend college (what give with this nonsense?).This film is a look into a few weeks in the life of someone who is PRETTY MESSED UP. The final scene suggests that things will be alright, although the HOW is left up entirely to the viewer. The makers of this film seem to bank solely on the undisputed appeal of the very attractive male lead. The "story" leaves a lot to be desired. Looking for "what will this gorgeous kid do next...?" doesn't exactly satisfy. The lackluster production values just don't measure up to other films, independent or otherwise. A low budget and weak story need more than a pretty face to carry it through. This one is definitely a one-time-watch.*...

Rating: Summary: Wonderful! Review: This was a poignant and clever movie, well written and performed. My only question is...where's the soundtrack!
Rating: Summary: Excellent Movie and Soundtrack Review: What a great little unknown movie. Can't say if it's worth the 70 or so bucks to buy, but it's a great rent. Enjoy !!! The ending wasn't what I'd expected...
