hardly a masterpiece . not so well write . beautiful cinematography i think not . this movie wasn not too terrible but it wasn not that much good than average . the main story deal with highly immoral teen should have focus more on the forbidden romance and why this be . should have really get into it instead of scrap the surface with basically because mom say we can not . some part should have be drop altogether or rework to have more importance to the plight of the two main character . couple time i be wonder if the writer or director be a fan of george lucas classic american graffiti . not that it wrong to be a fan of that movie but to make your movie at time look like that and i mean come on . bad part of this be that madchen amick have such a small part and i mean double come on . she be the only one and in one or two line and who actually try a southern accent . ( take a good listen and it be there even though her character be from california . doh . ) maybe if she be the star others could have follow and we would have have a more authentically sound movie . oh well and what can ya do when you have a director who just a director and not an artist and also . too bad . overall i give this a b and that be a little generous cause i be partial to ms. amick .
