This is my favorite movie of 2008 so far. It's just so wonderfully relatable. You would have to not have a heart and have never gone to High School not to enjoy this movie.

cliche … its a documentary about teenagers … life is a cliche …

Nothing EVER changes about teenagers about cliches, about who they are, about what they deal with, about the stupid stuff they do, about their triumphs and about their failures. Nothing changes. EVER. So yes, its a cliche but its a sad one that after all this time we still have these stupid categories in school and that people are still mauled for being this way or that way. This is why we have crazy adults and people who cant adjust in their lives, this stupid Breakfast Club-ish nonsense that still happens …

So cliche … maybe. But a damn sad one.

Why is something completely realistic cliche? Is it cliche because it's happening in your schools and in front of you and so you've seen it before? I'd ask what the definition of cliche is in the context of movies like this because this definitely breaks the bounds because it's real and it's NOT another MTV creation.

I saw it last week and found it just to be average. It had insight but never anything that we haven't seen before. I found the animations to be awkward too and it NEVER broke any bounds really.

**1/2 out of ****

Ryan, I agree with you on the animations, but the rest of it was amazing. I guess… it's not trying to be insightful but I would say truthful. Does that make sense? Either way, I wish you would've seen it with us - our enthusiasm would've made you feel better about the movie.

Wow this looks way more interesting than any of that fake Laguna Beach or The Hills which I refuse to watch and have somehow miraculously not been forced to watch at a friends house. These people seem real and actually look like everyday people. I really want to see this.

Movie should be called "American Teens from Indiana" Nothing but mainly, caucasian faces sprinkled with some occasional other ethnicity. The filmmaker should have did a doc from a bigger city. More interesting stories there than some "Varsity Blues, Cant hardly wait" style documentary. Hell, look at the damn poster.

Yawn…

I'm actually from Warsaw and was a freshmen when they were filming and I think, Adam, it was a great place to do the documentary and a bigger city would have mostly likely not made this movie as exciting as it is. This is because many documentaries or mtv shows are from bigger cities so I think the filmmaker made a great decision on using a small country town in the middle of almost no where Indiana, instead of going main stream and doing a big city documentary. Although the camera crews where very annoying through out the school, I think this overall is going to be a good movie whether it does or does not exactly depict what High School really is.

and just so you all know.
this is NOT fake.
these are real people and actual events.
nothing was acted.

i graduated from this high school, and i don't know about the gang stuff, but there are definately kids who use drugs and PLENTY of pregnant girls, trust me. they just weren't in this documentary.

and yea, i've heard rumors that some things were staged, but from my limited experience most of the events were real. some conversations were re-shoot because of poor sound quality and things like that, that could be where the 'staged' rumors started.

and, i believe the poster is purposefully spoofing the breakfast club.
and i also believe that it was a goal of the filmmakers to pick a small, rural city/town in the midwest. if i'm right with that assumption, they definately picked a good place.
