This one was really bad, really flaky. It is a story of a strung out unstable girl who doesn't know what she wants and pretends to be in love with some walking stereo-type because she feels sorry for herself and wants to kill herself and sabotage her life. The acting is done by a reluctant actress which is perfect because it portrays what the average girl would be like in such a situation (sarcastic, lying, only doing it to hurt others and sabotage herself instead of suicide.) What a depressing bad-romp. It is filled with every kind of insulting blatant stereo-type and a propaganda of hatred toward white males. This has such a hateful rhetoric that it would be on par with movies that the Nazis would have made. Moral of the story is don't half-bad things in life.. do what you do with your whole being without being hurt, don't do things sarcastically, put your whole being into it. When you do not then you are promoting the most disgusting selfish kind of hatred no different than Nazi propaganda.

If you're a white male living in North America in this day and age THIS is the movie you want to see to see how you're being manipulated into being a second class citizen.Yes, here we go again, another racist movie playing up to Hollywood views of racial purity. Yet another movie where we're all supposed to cheer because a white girl runs off with some excessively sleazy ethnic guy like as if such a sleazy guy is in fact "the key to solving her poor emotional problems." A second rate movie to be sure which escaped any harsh words from critics because its trumpeting modern societies view of racial superiority.Watch as the Kirsten Dunst character is sexually harassed on the beach by a gang of Mexicans and yet how the movie makers try to portray this activity as a good thing. OF COURSE its "cool" for ethnic guys to behave in aggressive manners that white guys are told are completely wrong.So soon after, as per usual with the interracial predatorial movies, Dunst is in the sack having casual sex with a high risk for venereal disease while her pathetic white father cheers her on. Bad parenting? Well of course, but the message is that its good to whore yourself for multiculturalism so bad parenting be damned.The real reason to watch this movie though is to watch the ultra loser white male characters that Hollywood wants white guys to be like. There is one loser who never does anything but stand with his Mexican friend. (The Mexican banging Dunst.) Totally selfless loser which is the creation of Hollywood and so defames white guys that the movie deserves to be sued. No, of course this guy himself could NEVER go after poor lonely screwed up Dunst himself, why that would rain on the "Ethnic guys are superior" Hollywood racist parade. Finally, look for the all-white party scene. Wow! A Mexican can run right into a party with a bunch of guys who look designed to look like at an Aryan convention and steal a drunken Dunst away from some guy making out with her in a hottub without anyone trying to stop him. Well, of course. Ethnic guys are cool and whitey is a loser.... this movie rates up there with the most offensive movies of all time and should only be watched to monitor the agenda of the Hollywooders who hate 70% of the American population.

This movie is one of my favourites. It went right into my heart. And the soundtracks were brilliant. I still like to hear them sometimes when I'm home. This movie is so romantic but also dramatic. The young girls in this movie is fighting with herself for her future. She is having problems with life. I think she is too good, so she can barely take what's happening around her. Although she isn't living a bad life in a bad neighbourhood. But how the teenagers are, they are rebellious, but she isn't stupid. She isn't after boys and she can see things much more clearly. Her mother is dead, so she has a reason to be how she is, she hasn't got over it. And her father is very concerned about her.She want's to escape from everything by drinking and smoking weed (like 50% of teenagers)and fooling around and playing with people. She isn't concerned about what others are thinking about her, some are thinking that she is cold and doesn't care about anything, but that's a facade.It is the kind of movie, where you don't expect a happy end, but hope for it, and you will be positively surprised.My favourite scenes are the ones, where she is photographing. She was making so beautiful photos. It seemed like those photos where having so much heart, they seemed warm and cosy. I could feel the love between Nicole and Carlos.It is also the movie, where I fell in "love" with Kirsten Dunst. I can't say I'm a fan of hers. I don't run to see a movie of hers just because...I pick out movies, that have spirit. And she is a talent in picking out movies. You should only see the list of her movies. Well, not all of them are my type of movies, but the most are. "Little Women" was my favourite cartoon, when I was a child. I watched the movie actually because of Claire Danes. She is also an original and has been one of my favourite actresses many years. Now Kirsten is in that category too. She is so talented and beautiful. I would say she is a "deep" person. And she really touched my heart. She is exactly the type of people I like personally. She brings joy to life. Not many people can be so positive. I don't want to describe the movie, everyone should watch it them self. It is worth it. Makes us to think about the situations we put ourselves into.

This was an excellent performance by the two lead actors, Kirsten Dunst and Jay Hernandez. Their actions and situations were gritty and real, and they seemed very much like real un-Hollywood type characters throughout. And wow ... this was truly a great illustration of the strength of genuine love despite imperfections, despite society's view of what's right and what's wrong and what's successful and what's not. And most of all, I was greatly struck by the illustration of how belief in a person (and love for a person) whom others find unacceptable or unlovable can so powerfully TRANSFORM that person. The Kirsten Dunst character goes through a rather big change, a change that you would've thought impossible, but she pulls it off believably.
