SYNOPSIS:
 Two
Los Angeles high school students from opposite ends of the social
spectrum fall for each other in this provocative and sexy teen drama.
Nicole Oakley (KIRSTEN DUNST), the troubled daughter of a wealthy
congressman, attends public school in the upscale community of Pacific
Palisades. As an act of defiance, she makes a play for the attentions
of Carlos Nuñez (JAY HERNANDEZ), a determined, straight-A student
who endures a two-hour bus ride each morning from east LA to attend
the more prestigious school in Nicole's exclusive suburb. While her
friends and family prophesy doom for their relationship, her rebellious
flirtation soon develops into true romance. However, Nicole's self-
destructive tendencies threaten Carlos' ambitions, leading to an emotional
and climactic confrontation "crazy/beautiful" is a testament to the
power and intensity of first love, and reveals how, in coming together,
two young but damaged souls can heal one another.

REVIEW
|
|
"Kirsten Dunst deserves an untarnished gold star for her touching
performance as Nicole, the teen daughter of Tom Oakley (Bruce Davison),
a California congressman who, after the suicide of his wife (Nicole's
mother), has remarried, started a new family and kept Nicole at
arm's length. Which is hard to do, since Nicole's dependence on
booze and drugs is attention-getting, as is her sexual promiscuity.
When she brings the hunkish Carlos Nunez (the excellent Jay Hernandez),
a poor Latino student with dreams of being a pilot, to the Oakley
home in posh Pacific Palisades, liberal Dad is delighted with Nicole's
ethnic stand. He's less thrilled that Nicole is (having sex with)
Carlos without a condom. Is Nicole's behavior self-destructive or
a cry for help to Daddy? One guess."

Jay Hernandez is
so cute and i think you should have more pictures or at least information
of his life future and plans. I would do anything to see him in the
movies again. He is a great actor and i really like him. Although
i shouldn't dream that high. I hope that you listen to this reply
and grant me the honor of looking at Jay Hernandez one more. Love
always
