Nevermind what ma and pa kettle said. This is a wonderful movie. I've always assumed that if you don't "get it" then obviously you're one of the people the film mocks.Thora Birch is pitch perfect as Enid, the sarcastic, vulnerable and often times immature heroine. It's great to see a character so flawed but still so lovable. She is exactly like all the alienated girls from my high schools; alternating between moments of profound wisdom and profound stupidity.It's called being human.The story meanders a bit which seems to echo the characters' meandering so I didn't mind it.The moneyshot performance is given by Illeana Douglas as the cheesy, summer school art teacher. She embodies the role without winking at the audience, totally playing it straight.Buy this movie. Trust me. You'll watch it a lot.
