I crown this my favorite movie in my life...so far. I completely love Jamie Bell, he's such a phenomenal actor. This film made me like and appreciate Camilla Belle's talent. Justin Chatwin stood out and I hated him on screen so much which made me realize that he must have really prepped for this role. I hope I see Lou Taylor Pucci in more roles after this and Thumbsucker because he truly knows what he is doing. I was just blown away by the "adults" in this film. Completely and utterly. I don't have a favorite but Ralph Fiennes was impeccably quirky and unlike most characters that he plays which was really a breath of fresh air. Allison Janney made me laugh, she at times in the film has a deep heart but it's always clouded with something, haven't quite figured that out yet either. I could go on and on but I cannot seem to get these words to flow like normal so I would just like to say that this film is ingenious... The adults are basically kids and the kids try to be adults but they just aren't. It deals with so many levels but it's easy enough to keep up with. Most of the performances are top-notch and ironic. Definately worth and hour and forty-seven minutes.

Definitely found its ground as one of my favorite movies. Insightful and well,-- no prose of mine will really explain how great everything about this film is, from the soundtrack to the dancing to Julie Walters. It's a shock that Jamie Bell really hasn't been catapulted into stardom. All the actors were superb and complex and I fell in love with that. I remember reading something Jamie Bell had once said, on the comment that with the removal of certain terms Billy Elliot could've been a PG-13 movie and he digressed and so do I... It wouldn't have had as great an impact if it were merely PG-13.
