The 2 actresses are great, and they are the only reason to watch this heap of confused metaphors. Somehow, with no help from the script or direction, Temple and Keough craft believable characters with palpable chemistry. Their performances make you care about these two young lovers. However, because the script and direction are so poor, these actresses are wasted in a bizarre, slowly paced, depressing film.

Weird movie... Sexual/monster thriller/romance movie. I liked it, but could've been better.

If the director wanted to film girls making out, he should have just done that instead of half baking a forced love story between two characters with no chemistry and no interest in each other.

I loved the romance scenes that were going on between Jack and Diane but I just didnt feel the whole movie about them was as passionate as it should. There were more then a few slips. The plot and most of the script was only caused by just very lazy unmotivated writing. Kylie Minogue is a great actress as well as a singer but she honestly should've backed out this project and accepted other ones coming her way that had bigger potential! I've nothing more to discuss but I have to say, I was rather dissapointed that there was even enough effort to make this lesbian love story become a success!

A delectable touch of pure original fun sprinkled with a whole lot of probity, the characters were fleshed out so well, the romantic interlude when it culminates at the end wraps all threads in a nice neat bow showing us what love can be and what it cannot; its a wonderful tale with two super thespians at the helm, totally sweet yet nuanced with a dark undertones that really builds on the theme and explores, wonderfully, the curious case of these two characters.

I compare the discovery of a good movie with the discovery of a new passion. It's rare to happen, but when it does it stays with you for a long time and it feels good. Jack & Diane is one of those discoveries. A film virtually unknown and difficult to explain, which usually means that it is something unusual, or an unbelievable crap. The official synopsis says it's about the meeting of Jack and Diane, two teenagers lost in New York today, over a summer. Diane got off on her sister and without money or cell phone, does not know how to get back home. Jack does not know what to do with his life, after a great loss. But is not a romantic movie about sex discovery, it's about vomiting, inner monsters, intimate waxing, urban life, long silences, long kisses, deep sleep at a very long time short, packed by a soundtrack composed by those who understand, and excerpts from the unmistakable and enigmatic animation of the Quay brothers. A nugget of gold, that usually are well under the sole of the foot.

This is unfocused, vague, baffling and just gross. The 'werewolf' things are nothing of the sort. They look like large infected hairy caterpillars with claws/teeth. Beyond that it's one clichéd after school special plot twist after another. Just heaping more and more damage onto the characters for no purpose other than to do it. The equating of 'werewolfism' with lesbian sexuality/love is massively gross. This movie is just a mess and utterly pointless. It doesn't even work as like 'character study' sort of thing. It's just...stupid. The inexplicable fake hair running over/writhing around bones and organs at moments that made sense to someone adds nothing to the story. It ends up coming across as some sort of * for hair on bone/organ which is disturbing.

This movie i just happen to be up late at night and started watching. I don't view this movie as a Lesbian movie; its more of coming of age movie for teens. The "horror" part people mention, i didn't see it that way, i think it was more about the mental ability of the young people involved.This movie will not appeal to everyone, and critics at times, seem to be more critical when in actuality the movie was "good"> judge movies on my own merit; i have watched many many types of movies and the critics never seem to get it right or interpret it the way "most" would. I say give it try and you just might be pleasantly surprised. the young actors in this movie, i think do a good job.
