Editorial Review:

Description:
Fate steps in and brings together two high school seniors from opposite sides of the track in this sexy, fun, and energetic story of first love. Nicole (Kirsten Dunst, BRING IT ON) is the 17-year-old troubled daughter of a wealthy congressman who never met a rule she didn't break. Carlos (hot newcomer Jay Hernandez) is an A-student with big dreams who endures a two-hour bus ride every morning to attend high school in an upscale L.A. neighborhood. Their innocent flirtations quickly develop into passionate love, but Nicole's self-destructive behavior threatens their relationship and puts Carlos' promising future in jeopardy. Will their intense passion keep them together despite the objections of their families, or will Carlos be forced to plan his future ... without Nicole? Surprises lie at every turn in this wildly seductive and critically acclaimed drama.

Amazon.com:
Opposites attract in this love story for the younger set. Carlos is a straight-laced poor boy working his way toward a better life. Nicole is a rich girl with a wild streak who can't seem to stay out of trouble. Can it be that they're meant for each other? Yes, of course it can. Crazy/Beautiful follows a familiar pattern--the two young lovers come from different worlds, and no one else understands them--but has a few intelligent wrinkles to the standard star-crossed plot. Nicole's dad, for example, actually likes Carlos and worries that Nicole will corrupt him. Kirsten Dunst and Jay Hernandez give assured performances as the young lovers, and the movie's message of tolerance comes across without being preachy. As teen love stories go, you could do far worse. Adults may be left cold by Crazy/Beautiful, but teens--especially those with a dramatic streak--will enjoy this well-intentioned romance. --Ali Davis

- Ok film but could have been better
Crazy/Beautiful could have been a great film but director John Stockwell was forced to cut it to please those at Disney. The film originally called for nude scenes for the character of Nicole and a more explict sex scene between Nicole and Carlos. The film could have been a true to life about interacial dating, drug problems etc but it's too resolved in the end. The only things that saves this film are the performances of Jay Hernadez and Kristen Dunst and John Stockwell visual flair for L.A.

- Loved it!
I love this movie-the music is awesome-Kirsten is of course fierce fun and nothing but a hippy girl. I adore this movie because of the raw-ness and realness. The soundtrack is superb some would be suprised by it, not an emmy winner movie but it is a great one to keep on hand.

- Not the typical teen love movie in many ways
So I am in my mid twenties but still love most teeny bopper movies- actually not still- since I hated them when I myself was a Teen but I really enjoy them now because their full of sweet clean cut (even when it involves sex) love. However, this movie has no passion, nothing to make me see how these two fell in love, and no "ah" factor. It simply involved a girl who drank, used drugs, and was out of control and a boy who was a real straight arrow. Unlike most films the rich and White female was the ... Read More

- 41 yrs. old and still love it!
I just watched this movie for the 5th time. I first saw it when in my mid-thirties. I don't ever feel compelled to watch many movies more than once, but this is a super love story. If you like romance, you'll love it.

- Far from rehashed territory, gives a nice spin on a tired subject...
I've always been an advocate for Kirsten Dunst. I feel she's a brilliantly talented actress who chooses challenging and engaging roles for herself. She shines in just about everything and continues to impress me with each selected performance. That said, I was forced to see this movie. It just looked to me like another in a long line of recycled and regurgitated teen love stories that plays out the same way and never initiates any real care or concern on the part of the audience. I did however ... Read More
