The
Romeo and Juliet story has been modernized to a high school setting previously, but this
romance from director
John Stockwell turns the tale inside out.
Jay Hernandez stars as
Carlos Nunez, a poor but athletically gifted Latino teenager who endures a two-hour bus ride every day from East L.A. to attend the posh, wealthy Pacific Palisades High School in Los Angeles on a football scholarship. A straight-A student,
Carlos is focused and driven, but his future is cast in doubt when he becomes the flirtation target of spoiled, self-destructive bad girl
Nicole Oakley (
Kirsten Dunst), who's the daughter of a prominent congressman (
Bruce Davison). When his friends, family, and even
Nicole's own father oppose the
romance for
Carlos' sake, he chooses to ignore their advice and stubbornly pursues his relationship with
Nicole, whose feelings grow from simple physical attraction to something much deeper.
Crazy/beautiful is directed by writer, actor, and director
John Stockwell, who also penned the same year's
Rock Star.

This is a great movie about True Love
I love teen romance movies, Crazy/Beautiful is my favorite teen romantic drama movie. I remember when I first saw this great movie, it was a movie that I would never forget. The reason I like this movie so much is because I've always admired movies that not only have an interesting plot, but a story about true love. I thought that the feelings that Nicole and Carlos have for each other are real and near the end of the movie they found that their relationship and love for each other is more than just an attration, their love is true and they found out that they needed each other not only as lovers, but also best friends. I would recomend this movie to anybody who is a romance fan, but also to anybody who wants to see a movie about "true love"
