This movies kind of fascinating to watch - but maybe not for the reasons the filmmakers intended. It basically about a lady masquerading as boy so she can pick up girls. She gets beat up a lot but continues the fakery - even when she gets involved with a low-income group of young people. The problem is, she's a bit out-of-control and they not a very tolerant group ... and the movie progresses from there.
There's really nothing new here that hasn't been extensively depicted in other similar stories (esp. Afr-Americans/Jews/Hutus/'obese'/handicapped). Intolerance is powerful and depressing ... and I'm left to wonder - what did I get out of this movie? Especially from watching a reckless gay lady mess around in a bad part of town ... Maybe it was to watch the battle of the stupid vs. the stupid.
Unless you've got to see Hilary Swank fully nude or are in the mood for watching oppression, there's not a strong reason to see this movie.
