not quite what I expected from troy bolton’s origin story but the guy always was a bit unpredictable

any movie in which a heroin addicted Leonardo DiCaprio jerks off on a roof deserves at least 4+ stars.
seeing this made me finally understand the anger people felt at watching leo lose oscar after oscar
