Lameness is what empTV gives you just like their melodramatic shows on late nights, corniness VJs and shows minus tom green!! anyways this movie was quite boring and uninteresting. If you really want to see a movie that will capture you and you will never forget, go see Requiem for a dream!!! Now this movie blows save the last dance and its a must see! Compare these two and you shall see which one wins! Now playing at you independant cinemas look for it, its worth the watch! Save the last dance, just wait till it comes out on cable or when regular tv passes it! still not worth watching only for teens who love mainstream and all the fads of the day.
