| | Anonymous 01/20/2007 | | This movie was amazing! It was heartwarming, but also offered some sharp satire to laugh at. It is one of my favorites now that I've seen it, and I hope others get the chance to see it as well. Christina Ricci was great as that peppy perfect sorority girl and Hank Harris was incredible as sweet Pumpkin, who has the most beautiful soul you've ever seen. I've seen it twice already, and hoping to see it even more. Jump at the chance to see Pumpkin if you can because it was wonderful. I'm only 14, but even I saw the heart wrenching message behind this movie: Love isn't always perfect. |
