Best friends forever Enid and Rebecca venture into
their first summer after HS graduation. Though
they've both reveled in being different and mocking
all that is ordinary and society approved; Rebecca
seems to be less interested in the alternative, while
Enid struggles to define herself as they grow
apart.
Into the mix comes Steve Buscemi, an awkward nerd
by society's standards, but content in his role as a
pathetic outcast. Enid admires his
self-definition.
Anyway, if you like the kinds of characters
Janeane Garofalo often plays ... you'll appreciate
the dark sarcastic droll tone of this film. I enjoyed
the interesting characters and their juicy interplay
early on, but grew tired of Enid's selfish bratty
meanness. Once the film drained me of sympathy for
the protagonist ... I completely lost interest.
Not surprisingly, I didn't quite understand the
film's abstract ending, nor was it quenching.
