Everyone seems to love this movie! I thought it was OK, but it wasn't anything special or even close to it. Don't get me wrong, I didn't think the movie sucked, but I don't understand why people liked it so much. Everything in it has been done a thousand times, the acting wasn't that great just average. How did this win Best Picture? The movie was actually boring at times, and just plain dumb at others. It seemed like the writers just wanted to put one shocking scene after another, but failed repeatedly. Mena Suvari and Thora Birch are two of the few strong points in this movie. Both have great performances, but other than that it was just dumb, partly because of how much people liked it. I give it a 4/10
