Summary: Take a dive into the deepend
Review: This movie was awesome! It is totally thought provoking and kinda mysterious even though you know what is going on. Deffinatly a deep movie, anyone who likes movies that make you think, such as Donnie Darko, or Vanillia sky should love this movie. The acting is outstanding, they really make you feel for these girls. Oh and the girls are beautiful.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Deep, very very Deep
Review: This film despite the fact that the cover looks a great deal like a teeny bopper film IS NOT FOR CHILDREN!...
It is the story of a girls emotions being turned and twisted leading to the fall of her breakdown.. Pauli and Tori are roommates in a all girls boarding school and their together.. This is where you go "How typical".. but its not.. What its about is 2 people in love with eachother and they get busted in bed together by ones disgustingly bratty homophobe little sister and Tori tells paulie that they can only be friends. you get the impression that they have been together for a long time and tori wants paulie to just walk away. Right off Tori gets a boyfriend who she has sex with right in front of paulie
then the whole time she is calling paulie a rapist and without any present regret tears paulies life to peices and makes her the laughing stock of the school. Paulie, as anyone would in this position, falls into a breakdown with noone to turn to but her young naive other roommate mouse.. well, theres only so much mouse can do i mean shes very young and hasnt experienced much life. You spend the movie wondering when the movie is going to shatter because its narrated and so paulie is always a "was" character. In short. During the telling of the story paulie has died. It leads to her finals measures and paulies suicide.
It also brings you through a whirl wind as you despise Tori. By the end your wishing she hadda thrown that little *... off the buidling before she jumped.. (pardon my frankness)
its a hard movie to watch and awkwardly enough the first time i ever saw it i saw it on tv with my mother. HA! now that was fun..
its a deep story, its very disturbing though, i will warn you, there are times you are going to have to walk away from the tv and take a break..

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Piper Perabo fan
Review: I liked this quaint, quirky film. I don't know why. I found the storyline mostly light fare, but at times deeply troubling, yet introspective, about peoples acceptance level of other peoples lifestyles and choices. The acting is superb, and the casting excellent. There really seemed to be a chemistry among the characters portrayed by the actors in this film. Highly recommended viewing.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Incredible
Review: It's been a long time since I've seen a movie with the emotional impact of Lost and Delirious. After seeing Coyote Ugly, I wasn't too sure how I'd like Piper Perabo in this movie. I must say, she is very deserving of an award for her role as Paulie, a girl romantically involved with her roommate, Tori (Jessica Pare). Both put a strong effort into their performances, but Perabo's is incredible. She puts a lot of raw emotion into her role and the effort is completely genuine. The story is told through the eyes of a freshman named Mary, their new roommate. As the movie unfolds, it moves from Tori and Paulie's passionate relationship to how it is affected by homophobia and parental/societal approvals fluidly, with effortless storytelling. The dialogue lags in some spots, but it is more than made up for by the performances of its cast.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: IS PIPER PERABO A ZERO OR A HERO INLOSTAND DELIRIOUS
Review: Well as the movie began to play I realized there was some tension in watching a non-fiction love romance between 2 girls. This movie however blew me away, not only because Piper Perabo gave the performance of her life but because it showed the intensity on how hectic love could be, no matter what the sexuality. Ever since the movie broadcastI have become Pipers number 1 fan and im sure u will be too. Without revealing 2 much this movie has a shocking suprise with a bitter-sweet end, and piper perabo proves to be not only a star in this flick but my very own hero with a bitchin dramatic flair for acting, FIVE STARS ALL THE WAY*****

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the most beautiful and heart- wrenching movies ever!
Review: Lost and Delirious is truly one of the most beautiful movies I have ever seen. When I first rented this movie at the local Blockbuster, I was debating to myself whether or not renting this movie was a great idea or just a waste of money. When I started the movie, I was thrown into a world of confusion and sadness when I met "Mouse" played by Mischa Barton, who was on her way to the Perkins Girls College. I immediately developed an understanding of Mouse's shy, insecure personality when she was reflecting on the image of her dead mother. I was later greeted with Victoria -played by Jessica Pare, and Pauline - who was brilliantly played by Piper Perabo. Tori and "P", Mouse found out, were lovers who had an incredible bond toward one another. Unfortunately the two lovers were doomed because of the ever present homophobia that existed in Tori's parents, and her disgusting little sister. Watching Pauly pledge her undying love to Tory, and watching Tory reject her over and over again, made me feel like my heart was being ripped from my body. I have never felt such an incredible bond to a movie's characters, and I have never felt so sad and crushed about a movie's ending. This movie will leave you weeping, but it will also leave you with a better understanding of true love, how beautiful it is, and how easily it can be hidden by fear.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Wow, such extremes in reviews¿.hmmm?
Review: I purchased this movie about a month ago..two years after it came out. Thus, I live in a cave. I read other reviews and they were so extreme. Here is my take.

If your older than 25 (like me) and remember when all in life seemed wildly active, all was achievable and certainly nothing too far out of reach. It's a part of your past, but not forgotten. People who gave this a negative review forgot they once felt this way.

People who liked the movie remembered this moment in life or are young enough today to feel this sprit to be alive and kicking. The visual effects equaled the need to feel anything is possible.

So if your over 25 -rent the movie, under 22 buy it. In between, you have no time to watch the movie because your working too much.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Some people simply won't appreciate it
Review: This movie is perhaps the most wonderful, most heartwrenching one I have ever seen. No other movie has made be cry since 'My Life'. The emotion in this movie is overwhelming. Mouse's fear and lonliness. Her joy at finding true friends. The love between Tory and Paulie that is always there, even making the sex scene seem beautiful instead of just sexy, which is so rare in movies these days. Paulie is a very intense character, whose emotions always seem genuine. Her depression, her anger, her despair, her intense determination to re-claim the love that was cruely ripped from her by homophobia... Let her stand as a warning to those who have been duped into believing that homophobia isn't really harmful.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Bad, bad movie
Review: The movie started out promising enough, but as it progressed, story lines were dropped, or rather went no where and were left as loose ends. Also, the script became terrible! Some of the lines were laughable and very untrue to life. I would advise watching this movie on mute. That way you can enjoy the very attractive actresses without having to listen to the dialogue.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good movie but very sad ending.
Review: I have seen this movie many times. I like the first 40 minutes of it, but after that it is really a downer. The first time I saw the movie I cried like a baby at the ending (If you knew just who is saying this you would know how moving the ending is!!). You do take a liking to the characters. However, subsequent viewings have me getting very angry at Tory. I can't imagine people being that upset over the situation between Paulie and her. They were obviously made for each other but Tory is totally afraid. I found it difficult to watch all the crying going on later in the movie, not to mention my own at the end! I was really bummed out for several hours after this one ended. Good movie though.
