I first saw this movie around 2000, not long after it came out and since I never saw it again,I held this idea of it in my mind all this time as being a great movie. I saw it again last week and was shocked at how much my perception of it had changed. The main character Andrea was terrifically smart academically but  dumb as a post in her thinking process and the choices she made. The whole movie is about her chasing after this guy who happens to be a local rock star. In the process of this chase she does a lot of stupid things like lose her virginity to  a guy she doesn't even really like so she will have some experience  when "Todd" ,the rock star finally gives her more than a passing glance. Other idiot moves including going over a 100 miles to a concert to see him,only not to be able to get in and spends all night in a raining alley. Then she basically dumps her friend Darcy because she didn't fit into the whole new indie rock scene she has inserted herself into to try to get closer to "Todd Sparrow,the rock star." Finally, she gets her wish, and Todd notices her. He takes her back to his place, bangs her, then leaves for another city to record an album and she hardly hears from him for weeks, which of course means she has to chase after him some more. Then, finally she gets the golden prize. She becomes Todd's girlfriend and then goes on to degrade herself by doing things like having sex with him on the floor behind a speaker while his bandmate looks on impatiently and having sex with him in a barn at a concert where people are milling about.
