Movie Review

Ghost World is one of those gems that no one hears about until it starts showing up on critics' Top Ten lists across the country. It's one of those movies that doesn't have widespread appeal but is so well done that it is hard not to enjoy it. It is, it turns out, one of the better films of 2001. Full movie review »

I adore this movie. It is a valid picture of what some teens' lives are like. This film is based on rejection and acceptance two topics which are faced by teens everyday. I love the quirkiness of this movie.. and will watch it whenever i'm feeling down. The dark humor makes me smile, and i will never forget how creepy little Steve Buscemi makes me feel so sorry for him. I love Ghost World... Go watch it!

This was the worst movie I ever saw! There was no plot or theme. And, it was supposted to be a comedy. What a joke! This movie was as interesting as watching a TV dinner thaw.
