Crew or equipment visible: During a sex scene involving Sharon, she can be seen putting a condom on what is clearly a prop of some sort (piece of wood, possibly). This error is only visible in some prints of the film including the full-screen VHS version. Other prints crop this out. more

Underrated and engrossing, 20 April 2005
9/10
Author: Snoopymichele from CT

I first saw this movie years ago, and finally have gotten a chance to own it on DVD. It is one of the most realistic movies about college and the relationships and alliances formed there. The performances of Allison Smith, Danny Quinn,Keith Coogan and Jay Underwood are low-keyed and very natural. They seem to really understand their characters and avoid over-acting. The movie was shot on a shoe-string budget, but never looks that way. As far as Indie movies, it is top of the line. The music is phenomenal, the scenery is gorgeous, and the movie flows very well despite being directed by a novice. The story is engrossing, and you find yourself immersed in what Charlotte is going through. Ironically enough, Mark Metcalf ("Niedermier" from Animal House) plays the Dean. Gotta love it!
