Rating: Summary: Light Weight Teen Trash with a dash of charm. Review: ... This movie singlehandedly is dumbing down the teenagers of America. Get this plot...some rich spoiled girl feels sorry for herself and feigns insanity. Some rich spoiled guy knows her for about a week and is suddenly in love with her. So the logical thing to do, of course, is steal a car and run away. Where are they going? Who knows. The girl is a rule breaker, and that's what is supposed to make her so coooooool. So the two drive off cross country in their newly acquired car, breaking rules. Then at the end, they go home, and the girl is rightfully sent to a sanitorium. End of movie. No plot. No lesson. No mop thick enough to soak up the drool that's collected on the section of floor directly under my slightly open, dumbstruck mouth. Drew should've carried through with her threat to put a bullet between O'Donnell's eyes. I would've given it five stars for that scene alone.

Rating: Summary: Drew Barrymore's best movie Review: ...and probably chris o'donnel's best movie too. IT starts off as a very enjoyable movie at first, then it peels away it's cover to show a very sirious side. And in the process Drew Barrymore's acting is fantastic. If only she stayed that way instead of making worthless unmentionables like Charlies Angels. ANd Chris Odonnel is along for the ride. His quiet tempermental acting shouldn't work with Drew's fierce character, but somehow it does. The only complaint is that Odonnel is usually the same in all of his movies, and this one doesn't change. His just like he was in Scent of a Woman, but he's still enjoyable. A movie fan's favorite.
Rating: Summary: 10/10. 15TH APRIL 2004. Review: Anyone who hasn't seen it yet, buy it. It is a romantic sad journey. Matt[o donell]meets casey[barrymore] at the school he goes, and soon after their first meeting, they get into a relationship that causes a journey to mexico. Matt never realised when he met her that she had a illness. They hit the road for a desperate attempt to stat together, due to their parents not wanting them to be together. The only thing is, it does get a bit dissapointing towards the end.
Rating: Summary: BARRYMORE'S BEST Review: Barrymore's role seems to be written just for her. It's a great store, and I could identify with it. You must get this movie.
Rating: Summary: A Thrilling Teen Romance Movie Review: Chris O'Donnell and Drew Barrymore star in this fast paced movie about two people who set off on their own and leave everything behind. O'Donnell stars as Matt, a straight-laced honors student who dreams of going to college. Barrymore is Casey, a girl from the wrong side of the tracks who is suffering from clinical depression. Matt spends his evenings spying on Casey through his telescope. Finally, he asks her out on a date, and they fall for each other. Meanwhile, Casey's parents decide that Matt should no longer see Casey, and they forbid him to see her. She takes a handful of pills and ends up in rehab. Matt comes and breaks her out and they start on their cross country trip. However, there are mishaps along the way. They wreck their car and find that money is hard to come by. Casey has another bout with depression, and finally they are forced to return home. Overall, I thought this was a good movie. I thought Barrymore and O'Donnell gave good performances, and I really liked Barrymore's character. Watch this movie; I think you'll enjoy it.

Rating: Summary: one of Barrymore's best Review: Drew and Chris make this film come alive! Although it is a teen movie, some adults might like it! I thought it was very touching, but really sad. It is weird at times, but good all around. If you like Drew this is a movie for you!!
Rating: Summary: Mental illness doesn't have an ugly face Review: Drew Barrymore's performance as an overprotected, free spirit tortured by mental illness is very real. As her character unfolded, I completely recognized myself prior to my bipolar diagnosis. I watched the beautiful, young Casey (Barrymore) teeter between mania and depression. I watched her hurt the people who loved her most. I watched her ruin her life. It was difficult for me to watch this movie, but I highly recommend it to anyone affected by bipolar disorder, whether yourself or someone you love.
Rating: Summary: ONE OF DREW'S MANY FINE PERFORMANCES! Review: For all you Drewbies out there you will love her in this. She delivers a brillant and touching performance. I strongly recomend this film. Drew is # 1!!!
