Best movie of this year hands down!

Redundant and unnecessary.

I wanted to but couldn't!

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

The Good: The style and direction is executed quite well. It's pretty impressive for an independent film and especially one of such R-rated material such as this.The acting is pretty good. Smith (Thomas Dekker) was pretty good as your average sexually confused teenager and the rest of the characters were all superb in their own ways.So strange it's engaging. This is definitely one of the strangest films I've ever seen. It's on Salvador Dali levels of surreality. But the strange turns the film takes are so strange they're engaging. It's like Tommy Wiseau's The Room, which is so bad it's fascinating. In this case however, it's the strangeness and sexual taboos that are so attractive about the film.The Bad: The ending was too rushed and was brought down to basic sci-fi ending levels and denominates the story to an unnecessary them or us stance. If the film had a more stranger ending and had explored a more intellectual stance on the world as we know it, then it would have been better.Some of the characters I thought were unnecessary. In fact all the characters other than Smith, Stella and London and the characters they have sexual contact with are unimportant and could've been removed.Final Score: 8/10 Great. If you're a fan of really surreal and coming of age films then this is for you. I actually think back on it and I find that I really enjoyed it. So strange it's awesome.

This is the second Gregg Araki film that I've tried to watch, and I hated it even more than the first (Doom Generation). For his fans, I'm sure this is going to be a positive experience, but I think that I will never, ever be a Gregg Araki fan.Most of this film is pointless sex scenes, sarcastic dialogue that desperately wants to be witty (and ends up trying way too hard), lecturing the audience, and gleefully indulging in independent film clichés. Perhaps the absolute worst part is the absolute pandering he does to disaffected teenagers.It's time for Araki to get a new schtick. I didn't like his style the first time I came into contact with it, and I figured maybe it was time to give him another chance. It's been 15 years since The Doom Generation, and he's still going on about the same crap. It makes me happy that I skipped everything between them.

The underlying theme of this quirky movie is sex, and there is lots of it. We are not talking porno sex here but there is more than enough semi naked, bouncing booby, girl on girl, boy on girl, boy on boy action to go around. Definitely not one to watch with granny.Take the sex out and there really isn't an awful lot left. The plot is a bit zany and all the exposition is jammed into the last eight minutes.But saying that I did find the film entertaining and the characters (although totally off-the-wall) interesting.The story has very little cohesion, but the acting and stylised characters carry it through.

This is Gregg Araki's best film since his 1997 "Nowhere" and the kind of gay comedy I can show to people who hate gay comedies.Why? Because, while the cast is gorgeous, they are also fantastic actors - and Araki knows how to direct and edit comedy. The gags are timed to perfection and character's tongues are kept firmly in cheek (in other words, you don't find witless muscle boys mugging the camera in a Gregg Araki film).Silly and goofy? Yes. But so what? It is like a great big gay version of "Escape to Witch Mountain" with a little flesh thrown in for good measure.Great fun!
