This movie made me feel sad, angry, and lonely. Overall, the acting was great, it was funny at some points and depressing in others. I kinda wish they didn't put that rape joke in there, but it's dark comedy so oh well. I don't think Brandon really knew the seriousness and meaning of that term. I found Dawn cute but also dumb because of the decisions she made through out the movie and I felt bad for her. The ending made me sad, because her life remained the same, just rotting away from how bad her family is and how she had no one else beside her since she already broke apart from her other friend. I wanted another movie after this one, that added more spice to the story, for example, Brandon and Dawn are now in their teens and the reunite. He asks her to run away with him one more time and she accepts this time lol. But even if she went with Brandon at the end of Welcome to The Dollhouse, she wouldn't be fully happy, because Brandon was her bully after all.
