It's amazing how the whole Hannah & Mitch storyline was mirrored the Andie & Blaine storyline from Pretty in Pink. Except not even Blaine would do what Mitch did.

This movie claims to be a documentary but felt contrived. Are we supposed to imagine these people don't notice the camera? Are they hamming it up as they do in reality TV or are they rehashing the past or are they reading from a script? This movie claims to be a documentary but felt contrived. Are we supposed to imagine these people don't notice the camera? Are they hamming it up as they do in reality TV or are they rehashing the past or are they reading from a script? The characters come off all too often as stereotypes. Take away the idea that the film is a documentary and you are left with a boring and failed attempt to be American Graffiti for the present decade. Expand

Fascinating documentary, and gives a very insightful look at American teenagers. It makes you think and you do care about the teens in the story.

Some scenes seemed like they could have been staged, but all-in-all, it felt real. Teens, coming from one, can be nasty, and this film is in no way shy about that. We can also be sweet, intelligent, and lovable, all aspects that are shown. I hope that this movie can get us teens a little more credit for what we're going through by reminding adults what a hellish time being in high school can be. That being said, I recommend this film.

Not good, not good at all. Were it not a (completely scripted) "documentary", this would be the most unremarkable film of the year. As it stands, it's still pretty unremarkable. Don't waste your time.
