good and bad...

Warning: Spoilers
I thought this movie was... good... because of the psychology of their relationship, and the acting, and the gorgeous guy, Gabriel Macht.... but through the entire movie I just wanted to rip my hair out. It was definitely entertaining, but I wanted to slap the mother over and over again. And Milly... I liked her, but I didn't understand why she was sleeping with both guys anyway. I know her mom was pushing her on Jason and she wanted to make her mom happy, but after the way he treated her and how fake he was, I didn't buy that as being reason enough to keep seeing him, especially when she's got this GREAT guy, John, falling for her already! He was the only character I loved throughout the entire movie. him and his dad. I also thought that there needed to be a lot more explanation about the relationship between Johns dad and Daphnee. There needed to be more chemistry with the two of them. Overall, it was a good movie. It made a GREAT point about "helicopter parents", and I thought it was really funny. I just wanted to shoot the mother and Milly from time to time, and since those are the two main characters, that is definitely not a good thing. The music and the costumes were INCREDIBLY well done! I was extremely impressed with those two aspects. plus, it was just refreshingly original, as far as plot. I'd absolutely see it again.
