excellent Kellie Martin movie

This is a movie about a teenager (Kellie Martin) who suffers from manic depression and doesn't trust anybody but herself while she takes lithium. She winds up in the nutfarm after almost dying on the ferris wheel. While at the nutfarm she meets a guy who has problems with anger and his parents. They fall in love and are forced not to see each other. When they can't handle that they break out of the nutfarm taking the doctor as a hostage. They steal his car and have a joyride. They decide to have some fun and explore the world while they have their freedom. They eventually realize they have to deal with their illness and their crimes. A great flick not to be missed. 10 stars out of 10. Kellie Martin, as usual is a wonderful actress.
