The movie starts out great and is aware of the discomfort the movies premise sets up but it is filled with colourful scenery without a moment of dullness to let the creepiness creep. To sum up the whole movie it is like how harrassment in a work place mostly depends on the attractiveness of the pursuer of a relationship. Here the romantic comedy would have been very endearing if the age disparity didn't give off a tension just like a ticking time bomb would in a thriller.
The two main protagonists both have their faults that are polar opposites. The male is predatory in his ability to be overconfident but we'll witted because of the limits he knows he can cross and his means that he gets from his charm and career. On the other end he gets away with everything because of his age. No one every questions his age and other older woman acknowledge his perverse nature. However this isn't focused on enough to bother but it is a grain in a heap.
The female protagonist is a young adolescent who finds herself tagging along with a bunch of teenagers and their adventures. However she finds herself moving from one prospect to another and is desperate for romantic attention but can only find it with people who have power over her. The one time she brings a boy home he is immediately kicked out and it's a missed oportunity this wasn't developed further which would have allowed her family to be more involved in the movie.
It's all one big blur because it is fast paced and so many different relationship dynamics. It is also two hours long. Eventually I couldn't avoid all the creepy aspects of the movie even though there is the praise worthy acting and set design. If the movie had ended 20 minutes earlier it would have gotten more than a pass but there is nothing interesting going on half way through the movie.
