Okay, just hold on for a minute here... I just can't stand these movies... This is just NOT how middle school should be portrayed. I'm going into 8th grade and there are no bullies, no one cares about being "cool", and everyone, and I mean EVERYONE cusses. And I don't mean crap, idiot or stupid. I mean the real deal. I mean for god's sake already, do something authentic with movies about school. As for the movie, I was pleasantly surprised that the writing didn't bash the movie's faithfulness to the book. But still, I expected it to get -14 stars, so it's still a bad movie...
