Plot: Two students from neighboring colleges in upstate New York are swept up in a tragic romantic interlude calling for a maturity of vision beyond their experience of capabilities. Pookie Adams - a kooky,...( read more  ) lonely misfit with no family and no place to go, insists on calling all those who won't participate in her world, "weirdos," clings to a quiet studious Jerry, who has the ability to make a choice of living in Pookie's private little world or be accepted by the society that Pookie rejects. Unwittingly, it is through their awkward relationship that Pookie actually prepares Jerry for the world of "weirdos" that she doesn't fit into or wish to be a part of.

  A great movie. Many of us can relate to Liza's character. [I know I can] She feels so horribly awkward and out of step with the rest of the world and often responds to those feelings by belittling those around her who trigger those feelings of not fitting in. So very human.

  I love this movie so incredibly much. I read the book first though, so I admit, I was a little disappointed to see how watered down the film version was in comparison. Still, Liza is an amazing actress, and I see why she won an award for this role :)
