For once the 'wildchild' is the a teenage girl. Her problems and behaviour are impressively realistic and having had a similar personality and lifestyle as a teenager I found this film amazingly easy to relate to. Jay Hernandez plays the strong gifted Carlos Nunez with exceptional talent - every girl dreams of that guy throughout their teenage years! Even though I am biased towards Hernandez; I have followed his career closely; yet again he proves his ability to play a range of characters, as does Dunst. pHernandez and Dunst make a sizzling yet beautiful combination as the young couple fighting to pursue their love and for once there is no fairytale involved. Life is tough for both parties and although at face value their lives appear to run at different ends of the spectrum, at a closer look you can see they are striving for similar endings.pThe story ends in an interesting and heartwarming way with the straightlaced hardworking Carlos willingly sacrificing his promising future in an attempt to save Nicole(Dunst) from her self-destructive one.The movie ends with a satisfying and interestingly realistic final that restores faith and passion for both love and life. pOverall I believe this work to be an exceptional and very under-appreciated movie, in my opinion worthy of awards. It not only gives a rare opportunity for a latino actor to play a hardworking, gifted and more importantly moral character - in slight but noticeable contrast to the ever popular stereotype for latino actors - but it also reflects real life while supporting beliefs of true love without the soppy, mushy effect created by so many other movies of the same genre. Both Hernandez and Dunst are exceptional and the direction and storyline leave little to be desired. Five stars easily. Has it all! November 28, 2005 19 out of 19 found this review helpful I never got the chance to watch this movie in the cinema, but for no reason I had to buy it. I didn#x27;t know anything about this movie, but I just had to buy it. I am glad I did, as this turned out to be one of the most crazy and beautiful movies I have ever seen. You expect the standard teenage high school movie, but you get something so different from that.p"You can be anywhere when your life begins..." For Nicole (Kirsten Dunst) that is at 17 years old, when she meets Carlos Nunez (Jay Hernandez) for the first time. Nicole is picking up litter at the beach and Carlos is there with his friends. They meet because one of Carlos#x27; friends is a bit cheeky. Carlos#x27; friends are no real actors, they know all about poverty and that is the reason why they have been picked for the movie, to give it more credibility. Carlos and Nicole find out they go to the same school: Pacific high. This is how the story starts...pNicole and Carlos spend more and more time with eachother and slowly start to feel more for one another. Carlos is studying to become a pilot one day at Annapolis, while Nicole doesn#x27;t know what she wants to become. Nicole is a troubled young girl. Her mother commited suicide when she was 12, but this is not what she tells Carlos. Carlos finds out about the truth through Nicole#x27;s father. Nicole her father is a delegate and is willing to get Carlos to Annapolis, as long as he stays away from his daughter. Nicole is the type of girl that messes things up for everyone around her. I must say that Nicole#x27;s stepmother is not making things easier.brCarlos is not willing to give her up and runs off with her. A smart move, as it turns out in the end. He guides Nicole in the right direction, but she makes the final choice herself.pA beautiful movie about so many feelings. Friendship, happiness, sadness, love, anger, confusion... Kirsten Dunst has put down a great performance, truly touching. I didn#x27;t know anything about Jay Hernandez, until I had seen this movie. I must say he left a great impression! Kirsten and Jay have a great chemistry on screen! It is a movie that has everything and truly is one to watch...pThe part of the movie that made it special for me is where Nicole makes her bedroom Carlos-proof!pEnjoy the movie, it is worth it! Stunning! February 6, 2005 L. Howard 6 out of 6 found this review helpful Not at all what I thought it would be. I was expecting to watch a typical wholesome teen movie - all very sweet and innocent. What I got was a gritty, hard-hitting, beautifully shot movie which shows a very realistic mixed race couple facing adversity. Kirsten Dunst shines in this movie as does Jay Hernandez. Crazy/Beautiful deals with depression, racism, the rich/poor divide, relationships among other things. Definately not your average teen movie - it's so much better! Brilliant May 16, 2002 Ms. G. O. Moore (England) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful I rented this film last night, thinking it would be another slushy teen romance. I was really suprised. One of the best films I have seen in ages, and definately one of the best Romances. On screen chemistry between Hernandes and Dunst is amazing. A real gritty, realistic but feel good film. Loved it. Not your average teen/high school movie! April 24, 2002 2 out of 2 found this review helpful I haven't watched the DVD version of the film yet but I did see it in the cinema when it came out.I went into the movies thinking it was another perky high school film with lots of teens with happy and perfect lives,but I couldnt have been more wrong! I found the film a treat to watch as it shows that life aint perfect!If it sounds depressing, well its not its a fresh look at love and the way it can happen with anyone at anytime and how one person can totally turn your world around."When its real, when its right,don't let anything stand in your way..."For the girls theres newcomer Jay Hernandez ad for the guys theres Kirsten Dunst. Definitely worth a watch! Showing reviews 1-5 of 15 1 2 3 Next »
