Best movie I've seen in years
I understand why some might give poor reviews to this movie, but I simply loved it.
It is a teen movie dealing with very adult issues, which no doubt makes it difficult to find an audience. However, the movie delves into a variety of relationship issues that are rarely dealt with at all--much less in the colorful and nuanced manner we find here.
This movie explores that intense and deeply felt line between being true to oneself on the one hand, while allowing love, friendship, loyalty, and open-mindedness to have their various impacts on the heart and soul.
It does start a bit slow, and doesn't really hit its stride until about halfway point; but for me, the build-up was well worth it.
The honesty, struggles, and emotional depth expressed by Wendy (played by Amber Tamblyn) was, for me,the real heart of the movie.
This movie is not for everyone, but if exploring emotional territory with integrity--human flaws and all--in the full...
What is 'Normal Adolescent Behavior'?
This film is a special take on the "we'll be friends forever" fantasy shared by most high school students. It is a disturbing film about group think, group feel, and group behavior. The peer pressure issue is taken to a new level. But the film also contrasts group with individual maturation. A well written script, well directed and acted. The cinematography reveals the characters in subtle ways. Viewers interested in psychology, sociology, and communication should find "Normal Adolescent Behavior" revealing and stimulating.
Excellent movie!
I saw this on cable TV about a month ago and loved it. It was basic cable so some language and possibly content was edited a bit. It was still pretty sexy, so I can't wait to get this version. The acting is great. I hadn't heard of Ashton Holmes before, but I really liked him, and Amber Tamblyn is a great actress.
I wouldn't be surprised that some teenagers are doing this kind of stuff. Everyone knows teens are having sex at pretty young ages, so it's not a stretch to think that a group of close friends could be having group sex. The best part of the movie is the relationship between Sean and Wendy. I think it's sweet how he wants her to leave her group and be just with him in a "normal" relationship. And they have tons of chemistry in their scenes together.
I strongly recommend this movie for people 17 and up.
