This movie will either be really offensive, or really good to you. If you're a person who's bothered by the youth culture and college antics, this will definitely not be for you. Less about the storyline, and more about the shock value. As someone else said, you either love it or hate it. For what is supposed to be love story, it is drowned out by mere silly plot elements. I found it extremely offensive, as well as poorly executed. The disturbing plot elements are bad. Everything from suicide in a bathtub to close encounters with a touchy drug dealer are included. Nothing about this has any greater meaning. But such nihilism is done better and more artfully in other, more delicately executed films. This raw pile of garbage was just terribly insensitive!
