most people who have see this film agree that it an overlooked classic in the teen angst genre . i be not a fan of after school type movie and but this one be far from it . everything come together so well the writing and the acting and the soundtrack that it easily hold it own against darker angst ridden film like the breakfast club or donnie darko . it not full of four letter word and sexual exploration and drug abuse and or any of the other cliché problem of teen life and but rather deal with the more day to day high school drama of bully and crush in a way that both more innocent and yet more disturbing because of it accuracy . similar to pretty in pink and but good because i think there good chemistry between the actor . it amaze me this movie be not on dvd and but i be guess it will be someday . if you have a vcr and can get a copy and check it out . any movie that feature mazzy star fade into you at the high school dance can not be all that bad .
