Title: Strong Start, Not-So-Strong Finish
Review: My wife and I both liked this movie. The opening scenes are good enough to catch your attention, and the photography is excellent. Paul Walker turns in a fine performance, with moments where he rises above this basic vehicle. Joshua Jackson is OK; Leslie Bibb is, too.The plot is thin...but if you want something to relax with, enjoy and then forget, this is worth the time. It is reminiscent of other collegiate and prep school films. It isn't as good as Dead Poet's Society, nor is it another School Ties.The basic plot is predictable, but there are enough twists and turns to keep you wondering exactly how we're going to end up at that predicatable ending.The first half of the movie is strong, and if the screenwriters could have kept it on campus and out of the fully-adult world, the second half could have been stronger.Rent it...don't buy it.
