I'm watching it.
It's a little... not as good as I expected. Still not that bad, though.

Thanks, dancingthrulife! :]
The movie wasn't as good as I expected. The whole time I thought of various things I would have done differently. Overall, it still served its purpose and was enjoyable.

Posted: 6/25/06 at 10:53pmI'm just watching it now, it's at the end. I found it oddly disconnected from itself. I'm disappointed as I was really anxious to see it.

Posted: 6/26/06 at 7:52pmI liked it as well, though it probably could be better, but I'm not sure how exactly. It was very sad though, especially to find out that none of them were convicted of hate crimes.

Posted: 6/26/06 at 10:32pmI wasn't expecting much but found it very moving! I'm not sure what others were expecting. What a heartbreaking story. I sae pictures of the real Gwen and she was quite stunning. Not masculine at all. Not that I blame the victim, but I can't help but wonder if Gwen would be alive if she wasn't "playing with fire" so to speak. She was so intent on proving herself as a woman and that she could seduce a man she didn't think of her safety. I do feel she should have been honest and not have hidden the truth from those boys. Even though that is obviously no excuse for murder, I can still understand some anger on their part. It seems to me Gwen was a lost girl trying to grow up too fast, and she messed around with drugs and alcohol, which is always tragic. Those boys were losers from the start and should have been commited of hate crimes.
