    This was for me an enjoyable film, especially targeted to young teen girls. It lacked the oft found language lapses -- words that cannot be written here. It told an interesting story and developed some fascinating characters. It was about an iconoclastic and headstrong young girl, a girl who makes her way through the travails of high school and boyfriend.

    Good movie for the underdog. Girls that feel like rejects by the whole will get a kick out of this movie and enjoy it.
