    This was a different type movie and because of that I liked it. I wasn't sure how it owuld end and I also liked that not knowing. Overall, some good acting by some new upcoming actors.

    I feel like I wasted 1 hour of my time. Only 1 hour, because I could only stand so much drugs and intercourse among adults and children. I did not think this would be so awful, but it was!
