People are falling over themselves commending this film as the best in the world. I have a question for you all:

WERE WE WATCHING THE SAME MOVIE?

Finishing this movie is in itself a triumph to endurance. There isn't anything remotely interesting (I'll give credit where credit is due and say that some of the backrounds are beautiful, even so, not enough to save this sludge) in this entire film. People get lost. They walk. And walk. One gets trapped on a rock. No explanation of how he gets up there. But you can be sure that there is a ten minute shot of how he gets down. Painful.

This movie is an insult. A great big snicker from Van Sant, Affleck and Damon.

So here's the deal: Mary Bradford is dropped off at an all-girls school. Called Mouse because she is so very timid, she befriend roommates Pauly, the rebel, and Tori, the beauty, and soon discovers they are in a relationship. As things progress, and as Tori and Pauly are caught in bed together by Tori's younger sister, they break up, fully due to Tori's not wanting her family to hate her. So Pauly is determined to get her back from her new boyfriend, Jake.

Now, this was an all right movie, but the point of perspective is completely skewed. Mouse is nothing but a plot contrivance, there to advance the plot and play storyteller. I think it would have been a much better movie if it had been narrated by say, Tori or Pauly. But Mischa Barton does a very good job, even if her character wasn't very good.

Yes, the movie is very symbolic, making sure we know that Tori is Lost and Pauly is delirious. The last lingering shot, is very symbolic. She's flying, get it? GET IT?

The acting is okay. Piper Perabo is trying to be convincing as Pauly, but we all saw her being so sweet and innocent in Coyote Ugly, so...things don't work and she is miscasted, in my opinion. Jessica Pare is good as Tori, a bland role.

I have one last thing to say. How long would the school have let Pauly's behaviour continue? She spikes the punch, yells at the top of her lungs in every scene, stabs people, and yet she only gets gaped at by the teachers.

Just not very good.
