terrible... so disappointed.

Excellent, a Must See

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

David is a popular student. During a late night party, David falls off a cliff. His friend Chirs (Keanu Reeves) suspects that it was suicide, but he can't figure out why. He hopes to use David's music at the school memorial, but the school cancels it after discovering the suspected suicide.It's dark meandering tale of teenage angst. It's a good one at that. The suicide comes in a little late. At around 30 minutes, the movie gets going too slowly and too late. The audience doesn't really need to see or hear from David. He is better as a memory from the other characters.Keanu Reeves gives another performance like 'River's Edge'. He's very effective as a disenfranchised teen. In fact, this is his story which adds to the argument to skip most of David's scenes in the beginning. Keanu's the star and the camera knows it.

I am trying to find the song that Lauren sings instead of the pinafore song after David kills himself. The song starts like Life goes on...as sure as the sun...I will go on...I watched this movie when I was in high school and have trying to find that song forever...please help..I believe it is the song that Chris was writing...It has been a very long time since I have seen that movie. The only scene I really remember is when Chris was yelling after David when he jumped off the cliff. Then the parents put up the fence to "keep anyone else from jumping" on the cliff. Chris climbed the fence and was drinking on the cliff.Lauren gets upset at the show when going to sing the pinafore song or the sailor song one of the two she starts singing Chris's song that he and David was writing..

Ok so it is a 80's flick and it shows, but all in all it is a great movie. I am a big fan of Keanu Reeves, I rented every movie the guy did. This movie is hard to find, but it is worth a search to find. It is a great heart catcher. And for all the girls who love Keanu will rewind over and over again to see the heart wrentching scene of him crying. I loved every bit of this movie.

Okay, so as far a great cinema goes, this made for TV movie is no gem, however, at the time it was released, teen suicide was a hot topic. Keanu Reeves pretty much gives us the same person he was in "The Rivers Edge", only a little more sensitive. The key scene for me is when he gets drunk and crashes his car in the yard of his friend who died. The father comes out screaming and yelling, the Keanu breaks down, blaming himself for not being able to stop the suicide from happening.As for the vagueness of the reason he the guy committed suicide; can we ever know for sure why some kids feel so hopeless they feel the only exit is death?
