This movie strikes at first as very cheap, yet at the same time seems to have had a decent budget. The filming is decent, the actors aren't bad. The humour in it didn't reach me (or rather I wasn't able to find what it was generally supposed to be). The most annoying thing though, in my opinion, and the reason why I gave it a quite weak mark, is that every aspect is completely inconclusive. May it be sexual frustration/freedom, teenage rebelliousness, self deception, etc. All the elements which we can find in the sub-plots of this movie (which I won't elaborate here), are absolutely inconclusive. It's like being given a plate that smells like the meal you ordered in a restaurant. You don't really want just the smell - you want to taste the food as well. Here, are the elements lead up to something (and though you might not expect much, you expect something) except nothing really happens. Every follow-up even leaves you with somewhat of a question mark on your face. It had everything to be a decent movie (though it might not be good enough for a remake), except every good idea only put it's toes in the water. That's my opinion anyways.
