this film isn not just about a school shooting and in fact it never even see . but that just add to the power this film have . it about people and how they deal with tragedy . i know it be show to the student who survive the columbine shooting and it provide a sense of closure for a lot of them . the acting be superb . all three main actor ( busy phillips and erika christensen and victor garber ) be excellent in their role . i highly recommend this film to anyone . it one of those film that make you talk about it after you see it . it provoke discussion of not only school shooting but of human emotion and reaction to all form of tragedy . it be a tear jerker but it be well worth it and one i will watch time and time again .
