Movie propaganda

Two Los Angeles high school students from opposite ends of the social spectrum fall for each other in this provocative and sexy teen drama.

Nicole Oakley (Kirsten Dunst), the troubled daughter of a wealthy congressman, attends public school in the upscale community of Pacific Palisades. As an act of defiance, she makes a play for the attentions of Carlos Nuñez (Jay Hernandez), a determined, straight-A student who endures a two-hour bus ride each morning from east LA to attend the more prestigious school in Nicole's exclusive suburb. While her friends and family prophesy doom for their relationship, her rebellious flirtation soon develops into true romance. However, Nicole's self-destructive tendencies threaten Carlos' ambitions, leading to an emotional and climatic confrontation.

Theatrical report

Teen drama about rich white girl with messed up life falling in love with poor "ethnic" boy with good manners while parents try to keep them apart. There are no surprises, however, both Jay and Kirsten carry the film with no problems. Bruce is good, too, as the messed up father. Whatever.
