Best movie ever!
Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
View MoreOne of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
View MoreThis is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
View Moreim assuming this movie has gotten quite a bit of negative feedback because it is a pretty eye opening story line. though provocative and at times awkward you really feel the film.there's a part in the relative middle of the movie, where amber tamblins character wendy, and ashton holmes character sean, are outside "playing" basket ball, and the interactions between the two make me literally feel the giddy that sean would be feeling, it might have something to do with how gorgeous ashton holmes is, or how great of a job he does playing his part, but it makes you a little hopeful that something like that could actually be that real or raw.there is also a part closer to the end that isn't quite as pleasant, its actually the opposite, it shows you how wendy is really not average, and well pretty twisted, maybe its just a preference and its just me and my take on spanking, but it was weird to watch, and you can sense that sean feels like its just as weird as you do.all together i really like this movie, its so real and moving that its hard not to get caught up in it. my only complaints come with the wardrobe, it was horrendous, and all together horrible, well for the females who took on these roles that is, and amber tamblin's hair. she is stunning in my opinion but the way her hair is in this movie makes her seem like shes clueless, not someone who's strong and knows who she is.
View MoreWhile the acting is nothing stellar, the real problem with this film is the writing. It tries for the unscripted, natural feel and only succeeds in making it seem unpolished and amateurish. There's nothing to set apart the way that it's filmed and the music selection is a bit over-dramatic.Film-making qualities aside, it still doesn't have a compelling story. It's completely inaccurate and unrealistic and takes itself far too seriously to be a dark farce of the whole clique-of-friends-who-sleep-together. The characters are lacking in any personality except for a few minor roles. It's a shame this film is even associated with Havoc, which is well-filmed and at least has a point to it.
View MoreI watched this movie expecting it to be pretty good in the fashion of Dazed and Confused... something like that. It definitely was not. It took about an hour for the plot to get moving- the beginning is nothing but a compilation of scenes of a group of six friends hanging out. They're friends- we get it. Then, when the plot finally does start moving somewhere, it's slow and completely unrealistic. I was a relatively wild teenager not too long ago, but this film is just ridiculous- the group plays some sort of game where they put things in their own little box and they can take things out but have to explain to the other members of their little group why they are doing this. Also, there are rules like you always have to be honest. Oh, and they all have sex with each other. Because, you know, that fits so naturally within the poorly developed rules of the game they play. It really is just outlandishly dumb. While the story hints at a possible interesting twist at times- one of the friends turns out to be gay, but comes out in the last quarter of the movie to the main character, after which it's not mentioned again- the overall story is poorly developed and plays out unnaturally. The main character and her boyfriend are developed relatively well, but the rest of the supporting ensemble is horribly written and two-dimensional. The movie, in perfect over-the-top-attempt-at-artsy-fashion ends with a climactic outburst from the main character, yelling out all of her friends' secrets to the entire school (although, oddly enough, all of her friends seem to find this inspiring-even though she reveals things to the public about STDs and sex games-with the exception of her best friend, aka: the main villain) and then a short dialogue-less scene of the 6 friends finally becoming independent.Seriously, don't waste your time or money.
View MoreOkay. Not sequel in the usual sense. But it does have Havoc 2 in the title. This movie by far puts Havoc the first movie; with Anne Hathaway, to shame. Miss. Hathaways acting was superb but the movie missed so much. This one's incredibly original. No it doesn't portray average teenagers today, but its a movie. Its suppose to be different and intriguing and lure you into another world. Even though these friends are not normal, the way the movie was made, the way the story was built, and of course the acting make it all believable. Made me feel like I felt when I saw The Craft in 5th grade. Truth be told the movies are similar in structure. Anyway, Props to all the people who worked on the move!
