Rating: Summary: Alright Review: This is a typical highschool movie. Chock full of romance and the family clashing relationship that is just so right in the end. I have the greatest respect for Kirsten Dunst thus I enjoyed this movie. Yay god.
Rating: Summary: HERMOSA HISTORIA MUY BIEN CONTADA Review: Que sorpresa! Crazy/Beautiful fue una agradable sorpresa, la primera vez que supe de esta película tuve un presentimiento de que era especial y la verdad no me equivoque. Comienza con los tradicionales clichés sobre el chico pobre y la chica rica que se enamoran, pero poco a poco el director muy habilmente estructura la pelicula y al final nos entrega una hermosa enseñanza del poder del verdadero amor. Es una película para adolecentes que cualquier adulto valorará por su mensaje. Pero no solo la dirección se lleva un aplauso, pues Kirsten Dunst nuevamente nos muestra que estamos en presencia de una de las mejores y mas prometedoras actrices jovenes de Hollywood. La actuación de Jay Hernandez es correcta y no se deja opacar por la extraordinaria actuación de Dunst. Solo me queda decirles que vean esta hermosa pelicula y que la disfruten con alguien muy especial.
Rating: Summary: a whole lot better than it should have been Review: This was a surprisingly good movie. It is directed by John Stockwell (Blue Crush) and stars Kirsten Dunst and Jay Hernandez. The movie deals with some of the more common clichés that abound in teen movies. The difference is that Crazy/Beautiful handles these clichés a little bit better than most. This one takes the basic cliché of: a boy and a girl with very different backgrounds fall for each other. Director John Stockwell does a very good job with this basic story. The movie opens with Carlos (Hernandez) waking up before 5 am so he can eat breakfast and run out to catch the bus for a two hour ride to school. This is a long trip just to go to school and it shows the dedication that Carlos has to his education. He is there because he wants the education and opportunity that the better school can provide him, even if the cost is a two hour bus ride at 5:30 in the morning. The movie shifts to Nicole (Dunst) waking up. It is bright out and we see the contrast between her life and that of Carlos. They have very different home environments. It is obvious that while Carlos's neighborhood is not very good, his mother tries to do the best she can. Nicole lives in a very nice house, but has a much worse home life. A friend picks her up and Nicole gets to school the same time as Carlos. We see very quickly that Nicole is a problem kid. She skips classes, spends a lot of time drinking and talks about drugs. Carlos is a good student and excels on the football field. Carlos meets Nicole when she is doing community service as probation for a DUI. They meet again at school and there is an obvious attraction. They begin spending more and more time with each other. Carlos's focus to his education and his priorities begin slipping as Nicole seems to be dragging him down. However, Carlos and Nicole genuinely care for each other. This is a story that has been told many times in many different ways, more often than not with a teen movie (it seems to work very well with youth). The story is about tolerance, acceptance, and how love can be the impetuous for someone to change. Surprisingly, this movie was a lot better than I expected and I was impressed by how the film did not preach nor talk down to the audience. It was not as simplistic as it could have been, and for a teen film, this is a very good one. As a movie, it is nothing special, but a whole lot better than it should have been. Crazy/Beautiful is worth a rent.
Rating: Summary: The Best Teen Romance Ever!!!!! <3 Review: Okay, I absolutly LOVE this movie, I own it and I watch it all the time. Everytime I watch it, I feel the same thing over and over again. This movie has so much emotion involved that you can just feel it. Kirsten Dunst does a wonderful job in this movie. My favorite scene is the pilot/plane scene. It just shows how much she is starting to care about him and everything {sigh} Ugh I just love it and I think that anyone who thinks different is CRAZY!!!!!!!! You have to see this movie. Its just really great, tha soundtrack is also really good. See it and you will love it. TRUST ME!!!!!
Rating: Summary: teen viewers will enjoy this movie more than adults Review: Not a bad movie, not a great movie. It's hard to put an original face on the same old plot of star-crossed lovers. Still, the acting and direction on the film is very well done. Dunst is a convincing as a mixed up California Congressman's daughter. As I watched, I both emphasized with her character and hated her for bringing her love interest (the handsome Hernandez) to near destruction. I think teen viewers will enjoy this movie more than the older adult population. Nice moral behind the movie too.
Rating: Summary: the anti-teen-flick Review: I gotta say that I really hate teen flicks where once you see the starting credits, you know what's gonna happen and how the film's gonna end. Even though crazy/beautiful is a movie that deals with teenage problems, it's so different. Kirsten Dunst and Jay Hernandez fit perfectly, they have this ceratin kind of chemistry going, and that's what makes the film unique. I was so touched by their realationship and their way of dealing with problems. The only thing I didn't appreciate too much was the ending, thought it was far too predictable, but still everybody's gonna be glad this amazing couple made it. I highly recommend this movie to anybody, even to all the haters of cheesy love stories (like I am), cause this movie is something special.

Rating: Summary: Fabulous Acting to a Great Soundtrack Review: Mezmerizing plot. Great Acting. Excellent music. Hot guys. What more do I have to say? This movie rox.
Rating: Summary: A version of myself falling for a Latino boy. Review: I can relate so much to this movie, when I first saw it, I saw myself in it. I never went to the movie theater to check it out but for my b-day, my cousin bought the DVD for me and suggested I should watch it. So I did, and I was pretty amazed by it. Like Nicole, I met the love of my life doing community service as well. But not because I had DUI, it was just something else I had done. He was with a group of Hispanic guys and were harassing me. Little did we know we went to the same school also and that's when it all started. Thank God though, everything worked out in the end and now we are happily married. Its been more than a year now and we always remember everything that we went through. Unlike Nicole though, I didn't take pictures and played with them and made collages, I did sketches. Awww, and also, if you love someone, it doesn't matter what color they are or what their backgrounds are.
Rating: Summary: Great Chemistry! Review: .... This movie is different than most from the implied genre. The character interaction between Nicole (Kirsten Dunst) and Carlos (Jay Hernandez) is amazing. They have such a believable chemistry between them. Carlos, an all A student, meets the increadibly wild and over-privileged Nicole and they fall in love. The lead characters, from very different walks of life, come together and change the way each of them look at the world. Carlos learnes to live a little and Nicole. . . . You'll have to watch it. It is well worth it.
