Review of The Rules of Attraction (2002) by Andrew L — 17 Dec 2010

I just can't see the point of this ridiculous movie. "The Rules of Attractions" is kind of a messed up movie that wants to explore life at the university but doesn't succeed in that; it's just confused and keeps on jumping from one scene to another with no apparent logical flow. Dialogues are not poor but my impression is that they want to impress the audience with some strong language; well, I don't know about you but that's not what impresses me when I'm watching a movie. Acting was also quite good considering the not-so-logic story but...

But even if this might be slightly realistic college movie it still didn't make sense. I did like a few scenes and I have to say that some dialogues and facts really surprised me; the problem is that a part from that I didn't get it. I got a few scenes here and there but I wasn't able to get the complete picture. So what was this movie about? Drugs, parties, sex and love (should I call it that way?) are just not enough elements, especially if they're mixed and exposed in this original way.

P.S. The ending was just horrible, but I have to admit that it was in line with the rest of the movie.
