    not sure why I like this one so much because it is really not that great .. I guess I understand what she goes through

    Rachael Leigh Cook sines in this movie and Tucker more than holds his own. It runs a little on long side and also manages to leave some big gaps, but the performances really draw you in.

Stateside plays like urgent ideas for a movie which Anselmo needed to make, but they're still in note form. full review

Anselmo, basing his script on a true story, juggles more plots than a full season of The O.C., setting his cast adrift in a sea of soap-opera bubbles. full review
