Summary: good cast that goes nowhear
Review: tart is a poorly writen movie that is a waste of some of the best young actors. the script gives us no reason to like anyone in this film, making it an endurence test to watch it all the way through. swain who was interisting in lolita is just nothing here, phillips, who is entertaining usually, is just a paper cut out of a person. and mischa barton, who has always held my attention when on screen, even in bad, poorly written movies, couldn't even hold my interest in this film

Summary: Good concept wasted on crappy script and acting
Review: The concept of the movie was intelligent, but the concept was wasted on horrible acting and not a very good script or well enough developed plot. I rented the movie because Mischa Barton was in it, and it looked like it was interesting. Well, there's a reason this movie isn't all that widely known. I wish the concept was saved for good actors and a good script who could've made the movie really hit home. It is a movie people can relate to, and it is good in a satirical sense - but if the creators were not trying to make a satire, wow it sucks more than i thought. Teenage girls can relate because it's a movie about finding yourself, but it could've been done in a much better way.

Summary: I was warned. I watched it anyway.
Review: The only thing that kept this movie afloat was Miss Swain's beauty. I never get tired of looking at her. But the acting and characters in this movie were atrocious. Lots of robots are seen because it's so hard to develop any feelings for these people. And you know what that leads to...you cheer for their demise. (Like in that other Dominique Swain movie - The Smokers.) In a movie with little substance, you have to flaunt what you got, thus Melanie Griffith's name headlines with the others even though she only makes a 7 second cameo! So, I give this movie one star for existing and one star for that pretty face.

Summary: I don't know what I was hoping for, but this wasn't it...
Review: The premise of the movie sounded pretty interesting. Unfortunately, I was wrong. I decided to give it a chance, even when it got boring. It's not that I have a problem with kids on drugs and having sex, it's that I have seen this movie before, and it's called "Bully." (Not only because of the repeated actors and actresses, Bijou Phillips and Brad Renfro, but because of the repeated subject matter) Plus, if that was the kind of movie it was going to be, that would have been fine, but it was almost as if it was trying to be deep with the internal monologue of the main character. Yuck. Be what you are. The writing was bad and completely unrealistic....I just felt like the characters weren't developed enough, and if the scene actually started to produce something good, it never went anywhere. Blah. The End

Summary: Probably without exaggeration the worst movie I've ever seen
Review: The title of this review says it all. I rented this because I picked up the wrong tape in the store and watched it because I had nothing else to do. What a mistake! The characters are simplistic, the plot twisted and confusing (but not in a cool way, more of a "I don't know how to write a screenplay" way), and the relationships nonsensical and unrealistic. It was excruciatingly long, pretensious, and melodramatic. The few funny moments are almost camp, and the acting is sub-par at best. Please save yourself the money and avoid this movie like the plague.

Summary: Good movie
Review: This flick overall was a good movie. It showed many aspects of how messed up teenagers' lives could be, and that when their mother tries to get into their lives, they just turn them away. It has a good message that you should accept who you are, and who your friends are, because it's not worth it going around looking for who you are and then realizing it when it's too late. The vibe of the movie seemed very quiet, and eerie for some reason. It's a cool flick to watch when you're bored. I liked it, because the circumstances really touched home for me.

Summary: A "Tart" of a movie.
Review: This is an OK movie, but it could have been a lot better. I watched this movie because I am a fan of Brad Renfro and Dominique Swain. Renfro's acting is quite good as usual in Tart and he is very believable in his role as a popular but troubled teenager. Dominique Swain however is mediocre and doesn't display her true acting talents. Melanie Griffith is credited on the movie case, but her total screen time is merely 20secs(I'm not kidding!).
Tart is a movie that is targeted for the same audience as movies such as 'Cruel Intentions'.
The DVD lacks any extra features (except for a 3min trailer).
Rent the movie from a video store before you choose to buy it.

Summary: GREAT REALISTIC LOOK AT THE SHADY LIFE OF TEENS
Review: THIS IS SO REALISTIC! JUST GETTING OUT OF MY TEEN YEARS, I CAN FROM EXPERIECE SAY THAT THIS FILM SAYS A LOT ABOUT THE WAY TEENS LIVE TODAY. DRUGS, SEX, VIOLENCE, THESE DAYS THAT IS WHAT TEENS GROW UP IN. IT'S SAD, BUT TRUE! THIS MOVIE PORTRAYS SOMETHING THAT COULD VERY WELL HAPPEN IN REAL LIFE. THE DRUG ADDICTION OF ALL THE TEENS IS WHAT GOT ME, I MEAN THIS MOVIE HIT IT RIGHT ON THE NAIL. PARENTS JUST DON'T WANT TO FACE THE FACTS THAT DRUGS ARE ON THE RISE AND THIS IS VERY MUCH AN ANIT-DRUG MOVIE. I ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO WATCH IT AND PAY ATTENTION BECAUSE JUST LIKE HALF OF THOSE TEENS PARENT'S DIDN'T KNOW IN THE MOVIE, YOUR CHILD COULD VERY WELL BE DOING DRUGS.
