To me, this movie is perfection.

Strong and Moving!

Simply A Masterpiece

Awesome Movie

This was a surprisingly wonderful, but tragic movie. Mia Kirshner is an underrated actress and a gorgeous woman to boot. The entire cast turned in good performances. Mia Kirshner has always surprised me in her roles. It doesn't seem to matter what she is portraying. It can be a drug addicted college girl that is just trying to fit in with everyone else. It can be a highly paid free-lance assassin on TV's "Twenty-four". Does anyone remember the movie she made in which a man is fantasizing about her being a stripper, but I believe she was actually just a girl next door type person? I only saw the last few minutes of it and I have forgotten the title entirely.

this movie is really interesting. it explains how rich parents students pass their time and how other students do for fun. the movie starts when Alicia, who is quite poor and had to struggle with her life, was impressed by higher class or rich students. so when the chance came to her to explore rich life, as a professor asked her to partner Hadley Ashton who is a rich girl. as time goes on Alicia became obsessed by her new experience of doing friendship with the rich girls. she started doing like them binge drinking, taking drugs specially coke, and sleeping with any guy who is interested. so Hadley started to feel like Alicia had stolen her own life as she discovered her flirting with Alicia's bf. and even Mr Ashton, Hadley's father, started to help Alicia. so Hadley tried to get rid of Alicia by fixing her with pure over doze coke. but at the graduation day the young detective discovered the whole story.

Interesting idea and storyline which didn't quite work.When you see the film, maybe you will feel as dissatisfied with the ending as I did. I didn't really know who to root for in the movie, Taye Diggs looked bored as the detective, the rest of the characters seem so one-dimensional and unpleasant.If the victim Alicia(Mia Kirschner) had been more of a nice girl, we might actually have enjoyed seeing the plot unfold and the perpetrator brought to justice. The problem was that she was as bitchy as the other girls, turning from sweet girl to conniving opportunistic cokehead. I can't understand the moral message of this film, and as a detective story and thriller it doesn't work.

One could certainly make the statement 'why should we care' about this film, and perhaps one should have posed that question to the director. Very little attention was paid, it seems, to anything which might endear any of this film's characters to the viewer. While the four female leads are intended to flutter between victim and villain as the story progresses, the performances ring hollow, contrived, and ultimately fall short of what I would hope started as a grand study of human sociology. Indeed this idea is suggested by their forced cooperation on a senior year project. Again, one is left with the feeling of too many tongs in the fire, and not enough hands to mind them.While great pains are taken to show the villainy of Alicia Campbell (Mia Kirschner), the final upshot of all her ill deeds struck me as not only rediculous, but totally unfeasable, unattainable, and illogical. The broad strokes used to bring conclusion to the film failed to deflty weave together the many loose threads, instead preferring to shelack them to the table in an effort to prevent their fluttering away. It was nice to see the sidekick from "The Craft" continuing to make a name for herself as an out of control socialite.Thankfully this film was not terribly long, although the music was surprisingly good. I'm still not sure why the director felt it was necessary to pepper the film with gratuitous breast shots, increasing in frequency as the film progress. My only thought is they began to suspect the film was failing as a concept piece, and chose the lowest common denominator for salvation.Whatever your take on it, this film is still moderately entertaining, even if the ideology behind it has been beaten like a narc at a biker rally.
