One of the best teens movies ever made for the 21th century.
Wicked Sexy Comedy
Wicked Sexy Comedy, thats just what may sum this movie up... Its not quite just another punk movie from Hollywood, but this one's different... It's about devotion and love...
I bought the DVD expecting just another teen movie, but was quite surprised... Elisha Cuthbert looked like a goddess... Totally cool... The plot is also nice, about a porno star who falls in love with just another ordinary kid... Emile Hersch also does a nice job, playing that ordinary kid... His friends especially 'Eli' is totally cool, and will bring you on your knees with his antics... I wont say much, cos it will spoil your anticipation... Buy the DVD, its loaded with special features, fully packed with it... Its worth every penny...
I'm among the few that absolutely loves this movie!
A bold very sweet rom-com that has so much charm and one of the best soundtracks! The 4 young cast are perfect Emile Hirsch is precious, Christopher Marquette Rodriuez is legendary, Paul Dano is masterful in any role especially as he's gotten older, and Elisha Cuthbert is a dime. Luke Greenfield brilliantly directed this in my opinion with the romance, making you feel for the characters, and having a thriller aspect kick in with Timothy Olyphant.
