This movie was pathetic to watch, particularly the character of Sam. He is given no dimension for the first hour, just a gothic kid who hates everything, is a spoiled brat, and wants nothing more than to get high. We are shown only one side of him, and is stereotypical to the extreme. It's also particularly insulting that they'd portray a goth kid as someone as stupid as he is. (And notice how as his attitude changes, they slowly remove all his alternative dress style?)
i'm not trying to be picky (Even if I could ignore all the Marilyn Manson crap, who doesn't even play goth music) but this movie tries to be multi-dimensional and fails miserably, especially with Sam. Another reviewer commented this movie would be helpful to parents to get them out of the gothic culture, which is prejudiced and insane, and this movie only furthers such idiotic notions.
