This movie changed my life. Paris was so amazing in it. I mean, the way that she expressed her emotions after the tragedy involving Todd, was so believable, I cried. Every time I watch this movie, I end up in tears and my boyfriend has to carry me to bed because I just get so wrapped up in it. The cast is amazing. I cannot believe that this was the first movie for almost everyone involved. Well done, well done. I've learned so much from the characters and their progress throughout the movie. I mean, Steve 5 was not only the most attractive male I have ever laid eyes upon, he also made me rethink wanting to go to college. I mean, why not just hang around with your friends that are making a decent living selling drugs? The people portrayed in this movie may be looked down upon by fellow citizens, but who are they to judge?
