  Okay if you like depressing movies about people who are completely self destructive. Personally, I knew too many of them in high school to want to spend another 2 hour with them.

  Ricci is fabulous, but the film is like a two hour complaint.

  [font=Century Gothic]"Prozac Nation" starts out in the 1980's when Elizabeth Wurtzel(Christina Ricci) is being driven to Harvard University for freshman orientation by her mother(Jessica Lange).(Elizabeth is attending on a journalism scholarship and has already had an article published in Teen Magazine about her father whom she has not seen in four years.) Once at college, she lives a normal life, makes a best friend, Ruby(Michelle Williams), and loses her virginity. Elizabeth gains fame, an award, and the attention of Rolling Stone magazine for writing a piece on a Lou Reed(Lou Reed) concert. In trying to top her early success, she develops a massive case of writer's block in trying to write an article on Bruce Springsteen(academics have had the same problem for decades...). Thus leading to a downfall through alcohol, drugs and some seriously antisocial behavior.[/font] [font=Century Gothic][/font] [font=Century Gothic]"Prozac Nation" is a self-important movie about a self-centered person. Removing the narration would have helped in moving around some of the focus. To make matters worse, the movie is based on Elizabeth Wurtzel's own experiences but provides a decided lack of insight into mental illness or anything else for that matter. [/font] [font=Century Gothic][/font] [font=Century Gothic]Christina Ricci gives a wooden performance in the lead and sadly might be incapable of delivering sarcasm.(Zooey Deschanel would have been a vast improvement.) Surprisingly, Jessica Lange disappoints in a completely over-the-top performance. But there is fine support supplied by Michelle Williams, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Jason Biggs and Anne Heche.[/font]

  A depressant's nightmare based upon a true story. A young woman's adventure into coming to grips with her parent's divorce, being comfortable with herself as she goes through her freshman year in College and eventually working for Rolling Stone Magazine...despite the anguish she went through...finding help through therapy...the anguish the heartbreak is all portrayed exceptionally well by Christina Ricci. See this it is really good. Plus the way Christina narrates her journey is incredible.

• Christopher H

  
  More of a lifetime movie, than the generation capstone it was trying to portray. The performances are melodramatic and repetitious. Even the quality of the film comes off 10 years older than it actually should be. Could have used some more grit!

• Marcus W

  
  Girl suffers from depression, girl has no reason to suffer from depression, girl becomes melodramatic for 90 minutes.

• Erin C

  
  Coming from someone who suffers from depression, this movie really hit home for me. While I have not endured episodes nearly as bad as hers, I could definitely relate to many parts of the movie and Ricci's character.

• Sunil J

  
  I waited for 2 years for this movie to come out on DVD and it was pretty great.

  My all time favourite book, but not my all time favourite movie. I really wanted this to be a great movie! Ricci puts her all into it, and she shines as Wurtzel, but overall the movie doesn't work. The boyfriends were entirely mis-cast. They didn't work at all, and the… More
  My all time favourite book, but not my all time favourite movie. I really wanted this to be a great movie! Ricci puts her all into it, and she shines as Wurtzel, but overall the movie doesn't work. The boyfriends were entirely mis-cast. They didn't work at all, and the overall feeling of the book didn't crossover to the movie.

  Nice tits on Christina, but other than that...

• Laurence C

  
  A dark, mean and depressing movie that can sometimes look unfinished but will linger in your head for days. Christina Ricci offers one of her most solid performances.

  I think this movie accurately portrays what depression feels like. But I think if you haven't been there it's just going be annoying. There is a completely unnecessary nude scene in the beginning which pissed me off and was completely unbelievable. Who would just sit there like that in front of their mom? And why was she naked to begin with?

• Wu C

  
  I love Ricci, but I hope the book was better than this.
