i find out about this film long before i be able to rent it and i know i will own it soon . i read some great review at movie . com on it and it seem like it be hold in great respect by critic who know it be unfairly snub by the academy and even golden globe because of a young and yet talented cast with a low budget an independent film . director jam toback originally want leonardo dicaprio to play the leading role and because of titanic he become too expensive which be actually a good thing . the director then cast adrien grenier in place thank god . the film have a realistic theme and come somewhere between traffic and american beauty . sarah michelle gellar be toback first choice to play cindy bandollini and despite her heavy schedule and limited time she could spend on make the film because of buffy i think she do really well . it must be difficult to really set herself in and give a good performance when she have such little time . her character be quite enjoyable she be the most entertaining person in the film . without smg this film would have be a complete flop . the film be an eye opener for teenager they be set in a place that make them feel like they be on a drug trip the fact that take lsd would never bring you down again be a frightening thought for teenager play with fire . the film scene be present in a clever way the effect of speed up conversation be effective . it be a complicated film that will leave most people in the dark . after watch it for the 3rd time it really do make out to be a great film . i recommend it .
