at first i wasn not sure if i want to watch this movie when it come up on my guide so i look it up on imdb and think the cover look pretty cool so i thought i would give it a try expect a movie like elephant . once i get past the fact that i be suppose to dislike the alicia character play excellently by busy phillips and i realize what a good job this movie be do toward set up the relationship between alicia and deanna . alicia be so mean to deanna play by erika christensen almost throughout the entire movie but we eventually find out that they despite be polar opposite they have one thing in common besides be present at the shoot . they share loneliness and to what extent be reveal a the film progress . i have just get to say how much i love this movie and be glad to see all of the positive comment about it . i couldn not even get through elephant because it just seem to be exploit the columbine tragedy . this movie on the other hand be compel and realistic . busy phillips act be off the chain . that be a good thing and i would love to see her progress into some more mature role .
