short plot(thanks IMDB): A 15-year-old girl incites chaos among her friends and a media frenzy when she accuses her drama teacher of sexual harassment.
so I love dark comedies....it's my favorite genre. So when Pretty Persuasion was an option to rent I grab it up. Forget what I almost rented?
I didn't laugh as much as I wanted to. I don't think I laughed at all. Yes, it was dark in subject matter and it was shocking in parts. But I wanted to laugh.
Evan Rachel Wood was great at being evil but not a funny evil. I think I was just thinking that IT was going to be something else. Something more like Heathers or Saved!. There are many elements that link it to these films but the humor is lost. You can't have a dark comedy with the comedy I'm sorry.
i stand: OK WITH THE SHOCK. SAD ABOUT THE LACK OF FUNNY.
