When I was 14, out of my sheer "love" for Elijah Wood, I rented this movie. To say the least, I was pleasantly surprised with this movie. I found it to be thoroughly enjoyable and not at all the disappointment I faced after watching "Try Seventeen" (But that of course, is another comment.) Mazzo is by far my absolute favourite character in this film, and Barney is perfect (along with his two sidekicks, Billy and Ally) for helping Mazzo reach his goal of how he wanted to end his life. The love that happens between Rachel Leigh-Cook's Cassie, and Elijah Wood's Barney Snow is somewhat a reach of desperation for those two characters. We see that come out fully when the two finally embrace with a passionate (yet immensely sloppy) kiss. We as an audience are able to forgive them the mess of a kiss because it is oddly suited with the scene. All in all, an amazing film, and I would recommend it to anyone who would ask. The soundtrack, as well, is definitely worth it.
