this movie is not terrible; even though its realness feels very contrived sometimes, its actually pretty good in comparison to most teen romances; i found it very easy to relate to because i've found myself in victor's situation, abstractly speaking, on several occasions; unfortunately, its not "different" enough to receive credit from the "true" indie crowd, don't let the negative reviews scare you, see the movie for yourself and have an open mind; believing that raising victor vargas is a very cerebral, underground movie is a mistake, however it is much more interesting to watch when you consider all the other silly, hacked together, teen-aged romances
