it seem like all the review i have skim through have highly praise this flick . although i appreciate a lot about it include great performance by silverstone ( ah and those brit . ) and charlotte brittain ( who a linda have the most hilarious and poignant mini soliloquy from the point of view of a fat girl i have ever hear ) and most of it realism include a great end and i thought there be several element which be rather contrive and include a come out to the entire school scene which veer dangerously towards cheesiness . the thing i find the hard to believe be that there be a mutual attraction between the two boy . for one and i felt gorton a dixon and the deeply closet love interest and be rather old for the part and that the movie do not spend enough time develop their relationship on screen . that be and we have little to no idea of what they do when theyre not horse about and make out and or talk about how much of a strain their relationship be to the both of them . carter clearly isn not much interested in sport and dixon doesn not seem to be much interested in journalism . although it be an enjoyable movie and i do not rank it among the classic such a beautiful thing or john greyson lily and although they too have similar failing with regard to underdevelop the nature of the relationship of the protagonist .
