At first you may think this film is all fluff, guess again. Sure there is fun and frolic, but also agony, heartbreak and emotional rescue. Nicole(Kirsten Dunst)still mourns her mother's death; dislikes her step-mother and feels estranged from her father, Senator Tom Oakley(Bruce Davison). Nicole is rich, wild and reckless cavorting shamelessly with her best friend Maddy(Taryn Manning). Nicole falls in love with a straight laced Latino Carlos(Jay Hernandez)resulting in a clash of cultures and ethics. Dunst is flawless in this role. She is charming and very seductive. Of course I enjoyed the seduction scene in her bedroom; but I also liked the scene where Nicole and her father try to make amends. More than just a "chick flick". Give it a chance.
