Here is the story of a teen couple, who struggle to have a family and live life together. There are some violent scenes, which reflect the reality, and that is what makes the movie a fine drama. I watched it because I was curious to see Ledger acting as a drug-addict, and I think he did pretty well his job, and Abbie, too. It lasted a bit longer than I expected, all the action it was very extended and I got bored at the middle. I wouldn't watch this movie for a second time, but I've seen worse films than this one. It was educative in its way, and young teenagers will see the real life of drugs, which is not a joke, a dream, nothing fun, and obviously not to play with it, because it can ruin your life.
