After having online chat room chats for three weeks, "Thonggrrrl14" convinces "Lensman319" to meet in person in a public place, they being up front that they are a fourteen year old girl and thirty-two year old man respectively. They are indeed precocious fourteen year old Hayley Stark and thirty-two year old photographer Jeff Kohlver. Their interactions, including their meeting, are laced with indirect sexual innuendo, most specifically on Hayley's part, although Jeff is clear also in an indirect manner that he does not have sex with minors. Regardless, Hayley is further able to convince Jeff to continue their face-to-face at his place. There, both Hayley and Jeff's true intentions come to light, their meeting which was no accident on either side, and the intentions which may be incompatible and have serious and deadly consequences.

"Hard Candy" is one of the best films this year. It has a really good script, dialog, photography, and acting.
My difficulty in recommending this film has to do with it's subject matter. Child molestation is a serious subject and anyone who has been molested or knows someone who has molested might be seriously offended by this film. Parts of the film are humorous, although this is not a humorous subject. This is a game of cat and mouse, which turns into an "Ichy and Scratchy" cartoon. (If you don't watch The Simpsons, that means it is violent.)
If you go into this film prepared for what is going to happen, this is a great film. It has the best dialog of any film this year and has real creative use of camera angles. The acting is among the best all year.
"Hard Candy" is basically a two person play. Almost the entire film takes place in one room. It starts out kind of fun, then gets pretty scary and unpleasant. It's an exhausting film and definitely is not for everyone.
