    I really enjoyed this movie alot. I wasn't aware it was a documentary when I ordered it either, but it brought back memories! This is exactly how I remember high school, and I made my daughter watch it so she can see how high school is - she will be a freshman next year. Of course some of it was just for the cameras, but still accurate.

    This movie really reminded me of how serious everything seemed in high school and how silly it really all was. You just needed to get things done and have a little fun while doing. High school caste systems can be harsh, it is sad really. Anyway, this was a good movie. Enjoy!

    It's so realistic. This is definitely the kind of stuff that happened when I was in high school and still continues to happen. Some of it was really sad (I actually cried a few times, haha). The only complaint I have about the movie is that some dramatic situations came and passed too quickly. I was left wondering, "Well, what happened to Joel? What happened to the girl whose pictures got out?" it seems like they would cover one crazy situation briefly, but then never come back to it, making you wonder what even happened. I did love the ending though how they said what happened to each character once the movie ended.
