This movie caught my attention a while ago but because of reviews I was very skeptical about watching it. The movie is a dark look at how far teens will go for their crazy definitions of love. Yes, the acting has its weak points (not so much the two leads but those surrounding them) and yes, it may go a bit over the top, but for those of us that have fallen in love as teens it may ring some bells. It chronicles a relationship from its addictive start to its overdosed finish. Many kids think they have found the one and that no one will ever understand them or love them like this person does. Its a feeling that will make you do nearly anything. While this movie may take that to a level no one ever dreamed about when they met their first boyfriend or girlfriend it does make you realize that teens are volatile, powerful, and capable of things their parents don't want to even think about. This movie takes the viewer to a dark place but take the "excessive and unnecessary" nudity as the reality of teens sex-ting and take into consideration the gore we subject ourselves to when watching Saw, you might find the meaning makes these things less of a draw back and more of a necessary evil when talking about the reality of troubled teens. Its not the end all beat all but its worth a watch.
