How sad is this?

Highly Overrated But Still Good

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

While picking up trash on the beach, as part of her community service sentence for robbing a "7-Eleven" convenience store, unkempt blonde "rich-girl" Kirsten Dunst (as Nicole Oakley) meets handsome Hispanic "poor boy" Jay Hernandez (as Carlos Nunez). The mutually attracted pair find out they go to the same high school, but have different groups of friends. She likes to go out and get drunk. He wants to get good grades and attend the US Naval Academy. He's on the football team. She's a skank. These differences lead to conflict, which threatens their love relationship. Complicating matters, her father is a Congressman..."Crazy/Beautiful" is interesting in how it switches what you may expect to be the "bad" and "good" characters. With her beauty intentionally toned down (but bouncy sexiness intact), Ms. Dunst identifies her bad-girl as the "crazy" co-star and Mr. Hernandez as the "beautiful" half. The labeling occurs in an amusing scene where Dunst aggressively moves her head down toward Hernandez' lower body, but is interrupted by her father (Bruce Davidson). Hernandez turns away, but Dunst isn't shy about having sex in front of dad because she has retrieved a condom from the kitchen cabinet. Director John Stockwell helms his sexy scenes well...Hernandez is intentionally more beautiful than Dunst. They do not impress as a high school-aged couple, with Hernandez suffering more. His eyebrows are plucked to perfection; obviously, each individual hair was carefully considered before removal. Hernandez' make-up is too delicately applied. With all the loving looks at Hernandez' beautiful chest, we wonder if the character would be more plausible as a professional model than a high school football player. In fact, Hernandez' character could have been a college student and Dunst a high school drop-out. That would have been more convincing. Still, they are great looking couple.***** Crazy/Beautiful (6/28/01) John Stockwell ~ Kirsten Dunst, Jay Hernandez, Bruce Davison, Lucinda Jenney

Crazy/Beautiful is a poignant teen film about a rich girl in Kirsten Dunst who's a behavioral problem to her father Bruce Davison and stepmother Lucinda Janney. When East LA Barrio kid Carlos Hernandez first meets her, she's doing community service picking up trash on the beach. They discover they go to the same school.Hernandez is her total opposite. He's doing a two hour commute to her 90210 type high school he can reap the advantages thereof. He's a hardworking student and top football player and he wants to go to Annapolis. Oh by the way, when Hernandez meets Davison, she's forgotten to tell him that daddy is a Congressman.Davison is a liberal sort so the racial thing doesn't terribly bother him. But he thinks Hernandez will screw himself up if he gets involved with Dunst. God knows she's doing a wonderful job of that in her family relationships.This was to be a big breakout role for Hernandez who was fresh from the TNBC morning show Hang Time. If he hasn't had quite the career a lot including myself expected of him, not the fault of this film because he and Dunst are a very attractive couple. Crazy/Beautiful is a sensitive and caring drama, a good film for the younger audience.

This movie is one of my favourites. It went right into my heart. And the soundtracks were brilliant. I still like to hear them sometimes when I'm home. This movie is so romantic but also dramatic. The young girls in this movie is fighting with herself for her future. She is having problems with life. I think she is too good, so she can barely take what's happening around her. Although she isn't living a bad life in a bad neighbourhood. But how the teenagers are, they are rebellious, but she isn't stupid. She isn't after boys and she can see things much more clearly. Her mother is dead, so she has a reason to be how she is, she hasn't got over it. And her father is very concerned about her.She want's to escape from everything by drinking and smoking weed (like 50% of teenagers)and fooling around and playing with people. She isn't concerned about what others are thinking about her, some are thinking that she is cold and doesn't care about anything, but that's a facade.It is the kind of movie, where you don't expect a happy end, but hope for it, and you will be positively surprised.My favourite scenes are the ones, where she is photographing. She was making so beautiful photos. It seemed like those photos where having so much heart, they seemed warm and cosy. I could feel the love between Nicole and Carlos.It is also the movie, where I fell in "love" with Kirsten Dunst. I can't say I'm a fan of hers. I don't run to see a movie of hers just because...I pick out movies, that have spirit. And she is a talent in picking out movies. You should only see the list of her movies. Well, not all of them are my type of movies, but the most are. "Little Women" was my favourite cartoon, when I was a child. I watched the movie actually because of Claire Danes. She is also an original and has been one of my favourite actresses many years. Now Kirsten is in that category too. She is so talented and beautiful. I would say she is a "deep" person. And she really touched my heart. She is exactly the type of people I like personally. She brings joy to life. Not many people can be so positive. I don't want to describe the movie, everyone should watch it them self. It is worth it. Makes us to think about the situations we put ourselves into.

I feel this is more of an attempt kind of film. They try to make it a good, passionate, and dramatic movie, but the outcome this movie is just not really up to the standard. It is as if I was watching a first year film student work.It was a Hugh disappointment, especially with the cast they've got; they can do a lot more. It started from the very loose script putting together. The characters are not fully developed, and some part is just wrong. And the directing is nothing worthy.Final Words: The story has a potential to be good, but not this movie. Watching it is a torture; like watching Cross Road of Britney. And this is one movie of Kristen Dunst I'll not watch again.Rating: 5/10 (Grade: D)
