Meg Ryan and Kristen Stewart are stick thin and bored, so they decide to mess with the guy across the street to distract them from the ennui generated by clichéd suburban problems and the depression engendered by their obvious bulimia.
I actually liked this movie a bit, it was funny and sometimes insightful, but seriously folks, should the widest part of a woman's body be her hair? And when did Adam Brody become thinner than Twiggy at the vomitorium? I kept thinking all of these people must have just returned from being stranded in the Andes after a plane crash. If anybody had stopped emoting wildly for 5 seconds and accidentally turned sideways to the camera the DP would have lost them completely in the glare of all the blue gel lenses he was using to indicate the dreamy unreality of the neighborhood. Really, TIm Curry had more curves hanging from that RKO tower than any of the female leads here.
Olympia Dukakis was brilliant as a woman looking forward to dying in the final scenes and Makenzie Vega was enjoyable as the spunky pre-teen with a dirty mind.
