This entire movie seemed like a step backwards for Todd Solondz. Had this come out before Welcome To The Dollhouse, and Happiness, I probably would have liked it more, because it seems to have some potential despite its flaws. However, it's not the work of a new director so it's puzzling that it's so disjointed and rambling. After his previous works I expected something surprising and subversive, and instead got a film that was nearly mundane. I suppose I would have thought even less of the movie had I saw the R-rated version of it. 5/10
