      Amazing.
      Completely and totally honest---this movie was amazing. It's not one of those romantic comedies, its a movie about so many things in life. Its about real life. Heartbreaks, pursuing your dreams, friendship, death...basically all of it! This movie is a movie that both guys and girls should like. Its about 5 high-schoolers, each living in the same apartment area, struggle to pursue their own happiness. Lots of laughter, a dash of romance, and enough of everything to make everybody happy. It really does change your view on life (at least it did for me.) It shows that friends will not always last forever, people aren't always there for you, and things can always get better if you try. Seriously. See this movie ASAP. Its wonderful.
