Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

nessdan This is one of the best films of the 90's if not the history of cinema. Some of the finest young actors give their all in this powerful screen depiction of American youth. See this film and witness in awe the intense qualities of Soleil Moon Frye and Will Wheaton. Mind blowing and inspiring in every aspect. When you sit in front of your video screen, and watch this classic, make sure you get a six pack of beer and some weed, because without these items, you might not feel like paying attention to the small details that make this a masterpiece. The subtle movements and expressions of the actors and the seemingly natural dialogue make you wonder if the filmmakers actually intended the work to be so real, or if everything fell into place accidentally. Absolutely a unique and captivating piece of cinema.

matlock-6 This could have been a very good film, but it was poorly done from the beginning. Wil Wheaton, best known as Gordie from Stand By Me (a well played role), and the very annoying Wesley Crusher from Star Trek The Next Generation was not the best selection for the starring role. A decent actor, he is better in supporting roles. Soleil Moon Frye, Televisions Punky Brewster, turns in a solid performance. The script is not the best, however, and the directing and story development (including cinematography and atmosphere creation) should have been done much better. Really, it's a pretty dull film.

Jill This movie is really good if you are able to deal with the plot. Close friends Jimbo, David, Pat, Kim, Gigi and Buzz must cover up the murder of their friend Marla. The acting is decent and it is actually a pretty good movie, mostly for teens. It deals with drugs, smoking, rape, and has a ton of bad language. Once you get past the first three or so scenes there is no sexual content.

hoser2-2 This movie starts off VERY bad, proceeds to get a little better, and has a terrible ending. This plot is unrealistic, dialogue is stupid, and the acting is pretty bad as well.
