It becomes sad and pathetic...Take away the designers clothes, trip to India, Scotland, Ireland, Exotic Islands, Hideway Resorts, jumping out of planes, hot air balloon escapes and set the show in a real setting of the Bronx,or the cornfields of Indiana-or a struggling Indian Reservation..send them out to dinner at a McDonalds..have them harvest crops in the oppressive heat of the Midwest... And then talk about Love and Commitment.... That's the real story.... Alice in Wonderland only lasts so long...

THIS FILM WAS DISTURBING...THE SIMPLISTIC 'ALL IS WELL' ENDING' WAS A SLICK WAY TO GLOSS OVER THE MAIN CHARACTER'S EMOTIONAL STATE OF FEELING EMPTY AND EMOTIONALLY DISTRAUGHT FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME... THE STEALING AND PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOR TELLS YOU THIS IS NOT JUST A YOUNG GIRL'S STRUGGLE WITH ADOLESCENCE-BUT A MUCH MORE COMPLEX BEHAVIOR DISORDER... THE WRITER'S 'JUMP ROPING' ENDING NEVER EXPLORED THE DEEPER MISSING PARTS IN THIS GIRL'S LIFE...THERE IS A LONGER & MORE VALUABLE HISTORY-NEVER SHOWN OR DEVELOPED IN THE FILM REGARDING HER MENTAL HEALTH STATE OF MIND.. AS WELL AS HER DEEP FEELINGS OF ANGER..THAT OFTEN START IN CHILDHOOD... TAKE THE TIME TO TELL THE WHOLE STORY LEADING UP TO TO HER EMOTIONAL BREAKDOWN--RATHER THAN THE 'QUICK RECOVERY" 'CUTIE' ENDING...AND TAGGING IT 'ADOLESCENCE'
