      just how it is
      this film perfectly portrays the all the fun, confusion, new explorations, & miscommunication that goes along with first love/serious relationship. i particularly liked how sissel & joey dealt with problems - in a typical rollercoaster emotion fashion of immaturity and maturity.

      excellent performances given by natasha gregson wagner & giovanni ribisi - very believable.

      amazing soundtrack produced and performed by shudder to think with guests such as jeff buckley, liz phair, billy corgan, nina persson, robin zander, and many more...
