Kirsten Dunst stars in this weak teen drama as Nicole, a young woman with a troubling relationship with her father and stepmother. Nicole meets Carlos (Jay Hernandez), a serious student. After they start spending time together, Carlos somewhat loses sight of his priorities. He stops hanging around his friends, his grades drop, and he wants more independence from his mother. Nicole has some problems. She drinks, parties, and does drugs, but soon Carlos begins to see that he's falling in love with Nicole. In order to get in good with her father, an important businessman, he has to stop hanging around her. Now he has to decide what to do.
The movie is so-so. The characters don't develop enough before developing a relationship. Nicole's character could be portrayed has more trouble, which would make the movie more believable. I also doubt Carlos would give up his life so quickly to a girl he'd just met, that he knew had some problems. The movie could be so much better, but it was filmed beautifully and the actors did fine with what they were given. I wouldn't recommend it to everyone, but a lot of people would like it.
4/10
