it play like your usual teenage audience t and a movie and but the sentiment be incredibly bleak . if it be make today and it would be consider an art house movie . it go through the usual routine of a guy try to get laid and but the result of his effort be harsh and cruel and unsatisfying . the whole teen flick formula be adhere to and but nothing turn out the way you would expect . imagine a director cut of it a wonderful life where and at the end and james stewart wasn not allow to return to the real world . an incredible film that subvert all of the expectation of the genre . it make you feel dirty afterwards represent there be no redemption for the character . i be amaze it ever get make . the eighty version of detective story .
