not worth even a $1
Don't waste your time on this movie. it was super lame. i swear that julia stiles had someone throw water in her face when she had to do sad scenes. And please don't talk about how accurately this movie depicts race when every character is the same. i mean here's a challenge, go to the movie and try to tell which character is actually original. Some questions, how likely is julliard going to accept a hip hop dancer over classically trained dancers? i swear the writers got paid for every profane word used. Because basically every word is profane. And come on this movie can be called Cliche World. Basically what you'll learn from this movie is that the s word can be used to describe any situation and that black characters are indistinguishable from each other. What a powerful statement about race, as many people claim this movie has. Don't waste your time.
