Its trying too hard to be an intelligent satire on american culture
The jokes are out of place and awkward(though some ARE funny).
The movie IMO doesnt flow well. I was also disappointed by evan rachel wood's performance.

I think it's great - I really liked that it wasn't told in chronological (sp?) order. Just a question, were you expecting it to be a comedy? Because I expected it to be a serious movie but I know a lot of people who were thinking it would be a laugh-a-minute thing were dissapointed.

I expected a mixture of drama and comedy similar to cruel intentions. I thought I was going to like it but i was very disappointed.
