Title: I wish I was American Beauty meets Donnie Darko
Review: An awful name for an awful movie....well almost.As over the top this movie is, it's too over the top to be even laughed at. In a pathetic attempt to be edgy and a vehicle for insight into the plastic world of middle class suburbia, it just comes off as pretentious and unsympathic. I don't get the characters motivations, except for the bullies. The one thing that actually saves this movie from the pit of despair is the acting, Fiennes, Miller, Janney Closer, were nothing short of superb and all of the kids were really great. Oh and the soundtrack kicks ass. The ending? in two words pretentious melodrama. If Meredith Baxter and Kirk Cameron were in it this would of made a great, wonderful Lifetime movie. Someone lost a bet with Posin and I guess it was Dreamworks.
