    This is a good feel good movie. Jared Leto is very talented.

    I thought the movie was cute, weird at some parts, funny ( the mom was hilarious) but overall good. Jared Leto was cute in this film. This film sort of reminds me of Mischief.

    This movie isn't about an Irish teen mourning for Elvis. It's about a teen waiting for the results of his high school exit exams, which will determine his future. Christina Ricci is in the movie for about 15 minutes, if even that long. Jared Leto is terrific, but you'll be distracted by Catherine O'Hara's awful performance as his mother. Jeepers. It may be the campiest performance of all time, and you can't avoid her presence.

    Yes   |   No
