Love triangle when the friendship is the only thing that's standing in between.

Is it about the good girls? Looks like that way until the summer break before these two friends get going for the freshman year college. So they decide to loseLove triangle when the friendship is the only thing that's standing in between.

Is it about the good girls? Looks like that way until the summer break before these two friends get going for the freshman year college. So they decide to lose their virginity, but they both fall for a same boy. Their's long standing friendship will be tested, the remaining film tells who lose the bet and how.

Good cast, but the story was from the Lily's perspective that played by Dakota Fanning. The boy and Elizabeth Oslen were kind of in the support roles. A simple love triangle story, but the actings were good. 'Little Birds', 'Ginger & Rosa', 'Violet & Daisy', 'Ghost World', 'Thirteen' name it. This kind of two thick friends theme is quite popular, but mostly average ones like this.

Well, it was not one of those movies of the year that I was expecting, so enjoyed what it provided in a limited scale. A few times I was annoyed too, for the turns in the narration, but the way it ended compromised my overall thought. This is a decent coming-of-age movie, which is not worth to suggest anyone openly, but you can give it a try if you get a shot.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was first attracted to this film by the actors that were in it but as I started to watch I could tell right away that the immediate plot was stale and frustrating. It all starts and ends with the two main characters played by the lovely Dakota Fanning and Elizabeth Olsen where the obvious theme of sexual explorative college bound friends is blatantly pushed upon us. At no point during this coming of age "let's lose our virginity" film did I feel remotely connected to any character. The directing is so horrible that I felt like I was watching plot that had no flow but simply events that happened along the way until they stopped happening and the film ends. Essentially I came to the realization that after watching 2 sexually frustrated girls go from liking the same guy to one of them having a relationship with him and keeping it a secret from the other to fighting their family issues by playing around with this poor innocent likeable guy. In the end the only thing I got out of this badly directed film and plot is that **** be crazy!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The film explores lily and Gerry, two friends who made an agreement to both lose their virginity in summer break.

the pros of this movie is the phenomenal acting from an a list cast highlights of this include Elizabeth Olsen's show of grief after the death of her father which was heart wrenching and rather accurate and the performance of Dakota fanning which nicely displays what its like to live in a cold home environment. in fact the other pro of this movie is the exploration into the characters home lives which gives insight into their actions and their personalities I just which the reproductions of their lives at home could have been further explored.

The cons where the poor character development which meant the ending was difficult to believe, the plot which was stale and basic and the fact that at no point was it easy to relate to these charecters.… Expand
