This review reportedly contains spoilers. I can handle the truth.

Dennings's character was established as compelling (enough), but the second half or so of this film devolved into melodrama that depended way too much on the interconnectedness of everything, even for such a small town.

Kat Dennings is perfectly cast here, but beyond that casting decision this was a mostly forgettable movie.

If you're a Dennings fan, she's fun to watch (especially that great scene in the bathroom which changes tone quickly) but there's not much substance here. Josh Lucas is also good, but his character is written kind of insanely which doesn't help.

The movie feels more profound than it actually is, with all the slow motion and dreamy effects. It kind of works at first, making me think I was about to see a deep coming-of-age movie. Then it failed other than as a confusingly enjoyable diversion.

"No, it wasn't my fault. I was raised to hate."

Depressing yet touching. Haunting and ethereal (although the lead would probably smack me for saying such a thing). It kind of had that whole 'Donnie Darko'/'The Butterfly Effect' feel to it. The only criticism I really have is the poor CGI when it came to the smoke from the fire. Otherwise, I thoroughly enjoyed this.

This movie takes a look at the dark night of the soul and sees the beauty in it.

strange Hauptperson...

I really enjoyed this. It's well written and the characters are relatable.

Not my piece of cake.

Una barbaridad de bolazo esta película.

This is one of those films that I tend to find is trying to be a somewhat corky coming of age semi-independent film. Something that's trying to strike a cord with the hipster film critic crowd. This is a film in the vein of Juno only a little less hipster. Only a little.

Max is Caroline. :))

What a weird movie.
