Crazy/Beautiful

Crazy/Beautiful seemed to be made for the wrong reasons, and I couldn't find any viable plot at all. Kirsten Dunst seemed to lower herself to do this movie, she is capable of much better parts. I hope this lack luster movie doesn't ruin her career.

I really don't know how can many people enjoy it. I mean, what's even good about this film? Thinking about it, I only can say bad things. To begin, I must say this film is very boring. Nothing really happens, it's just a bunch of uninteresting scenes about a crazy girl and her boyfriend wannabe. There are lots of idiocracies that made me laugh (and get mad at the same time). For example, her dad says that she finally a decent boy and he trusts him, and one minute later he says he doesn't want him to see his daughter anymore? What??? And the conversations between Carlos and his mother? She speaks in Spanish and he speaks in English, and they both have no misunderstanding problem. Why don't they just speak the same language? And which kind of girl has no problem in having sex in front of her father? Is it even possible to exist? And why can't Jay Hernandez ever portray an ordinary American boy? Doesn't he agree with that or what? And despite all that, I honestly didn't believe in their love. It seemed to me the writers didn't make a decent development of their relationship. A shame after all...

This film only goes for 90 minutes, but it seems like forever! This film has to be the most boring, painful, tedious, excrutiating, vomit inducing film I have ever seen! The film does not even win any prizes for originality, taking the old romeo and juliet theme and turning it into a modern day travesty! This film has to be the worst film ever made! Kirsten Dunst disgraced herself by appearing in it, and I was in tears, waiting for it to end! There is no way to accurately describe how awful this film is - Just think of the worst film you have ever seen, combined with the thing you hate doing the most - times the agony of that by 1000, and you might come to a small percentage of how bad this film is!

Crazy/Beautiful is a poignant teen film about a rich girl in Kirsten Dunst who's a behavioral problem to her father Bruce Davison and stepmother Lucinda Janney. When East LA Barrio kid Carlos Hernandez first meets her, she's doing community service picking up trash on the beach. They discover they go to the same school. Hernandez is her total opposite. He's doing a two hour commute to her 90210 type high school he can reap the advantages thereof. He's a hardworking student and top football player and he wants to go to Annapolis. Oh by the way, when Hernandez meets Davison, she's forgotten to tell him that daddy is a Congressman. Davison is a liberal sort so the racial thing doesn't terribly bother him. But he thinks Hernandez will screw himself up if he gets involved with Dunst. God knows she's doing a wonderful job of that in her family relationships. This was to be a big breakout role for Hernandez who was fresh from the TNBC morning show Hang Time. If he hasn't had quite the career a lot including myself expected of him, not the fault of this film because he and Dunst are a very attractive couple. Crazy/Beautiful is a sensitive and caring drama, a good film for the younger audience.

I thought most teen romances were dull, and this proves it. Uneventful and unoriginal blah of the most mediocre order - I can only think that it was put together to give the soundtrack marketeers something to go on. Insomnia/cured.

WOW. This movie is one of the worst I have ever seen. And every time I see a movie with Kirsten Dunst in it I cringe a little bit because I have terrible flashbacks of this waste of a time they call a film. please save yourself the trouble and do NOT see it. It is cliché, predictable from the beginning, and insults everyone in the audience's intelligence level. I'm getting chills just thinking about it. i went in there expecting maybe an entertaining smart movie, at worst a typical teenage flick. however, the problems that Kristen dunst's character goes through just pile up on one another haphazardly and by the time she starts taking drugs and developing an eating disorder instead of caring like one normally would, you groan, laugh, or start throwing your popcorn at the screen yelling at the fool to dump her already.

'Crazy/Beautiful' is a very nice movie that I enjoyed very much for their theme (social differences) and also because of how it ends. Carlos Nuñez meets Nicole when she is cleaning the beach in one of the communitarian jobs.They both study in the 'Pacific,a rich school for rich boys and girls. The difference is that Carlos wakes up very day 5:15 am,to a long journey of 2 hours in a bus, while Nicole lives in one of the best neighbors in their city, and goes to her school by her own fancy car. The differences don't stop here: Nicole almost doesn't have attention from her father and is a horrible student who always skip classes,while Carlos is an A student who wants a promising future. One day, when they are at the school, Carlos see Nicole again and they start to talk,when Nicole and her friends were drinking and one of the teachers make them stay in detention,Carlos included. He stays angry with her,since she doesn't take anything serious,while he needs to battle for everything in his life. Nicole apologizes, and soon they start to flirt and to go out together. But Nicole's behavior,as well as Carlos' family and friends are not helping to make them together. I definitely recommend this movie for everybody who enjoys the racial and social classes'contest. aka "Gostosa Loucura" - Brazil

I thought that Kirsten Dunst and Jay Hernandez had great chemistry, you really felt like you were seeing all the aspects of their relationship. I'm glad though that the character Nicole didn't completely change her outlook in life and that Carlos didn't change his goals. Life isn't perfect and sometimes you have to go crazy in order to see the beauty of life. I thought it was a great storyline and it didn't embark too much on the race issue which is completely overdone now!!

i can't stand it. i can't stand the idea that this movie was made, actually. i couldn't stand the movie too-it was the first movie ever that i walked out in its half. as a teenager myself, although i'm not living in USA, i may know a thing or two about how hard it can be, i also may understand how hard it is to have a father who's not around alot&who doesn't give a damn about what you're doing. but i certainly can't understand how someone who's found to be *sweet* by many people (i mean that front girl, whatever her name is) can be so irresponsible, so stupid, so slutty&so hard to identify with. i mean, we have to identify ourselves with that girl in order to love the movie, that's how it works. it's just a hollywood teen-flick, it's not a deep psychological analysis movie where you can just observe the characters. you have to feel something positive. in the movie break, i could just think of beating someone in order to get all this anger out of me, which isn't really something positive. anyway, i do not recommend this to anyone, don't see it if you love life. i don't care 'bout the others.

For a long while now Ive been bombarded with teen movies that are crap. Written by people who forgot what it was like, less mature than teenagers themselves. Ive been waiting for a movie that was took itself seriously without being pretentious. That was mature and REAL. This is such a find. This movie is consistently good. Dialogue, Music, Acting, especially the cinematography and directing which just made the movie. It doesnt struggle to be hip or witty, theres no B.S. The story isn`t complicated but it works. It`s just about the love between two people, how it affects the both of them and the journey which Kirsten Dunst`s character goes through. If your tired of the mindless repetitive teen crap, see this movie and appreciate it.
