It's biggest selling point is a killer '80s soundtrack which I will definitely be purchasing. With The Smiths, Sonic Youth and MC 900 Ft Jesus, can you really go wrong?
The movie is based on the book by Stephen Chbosky. I'm sure the book is better than the movie, as usual, so I plan to check out the book.
According IMBd, the premise of the movie is "An introvert freshman is taken under the wings of two seniors who welcome him to the real world." The seniors are played by Emma Watson (it's Hermione...with an American accent) and Ezra Miller (who I really enjoyed). I found the story hard to follow, and flashbacks added to the confusion.
I'm not sure I would recommend it. Instead, watch "Heathers" or "The Breakfast Club" if you want a really fun taste of 80s teenage angst.

Well, I thought it was really good....a little depressing but good. My high school is nothing like the one in the movie....jocks don't really run the school and I've never been forced to hop down the hallway like a frog...thank you! But I liked the actors...they were believable in their roles....although there is no way a senior girl would go out with a freshman boy, no matter how cute he was. You'll have to watch it to see what I mean.
