I'm a bit worried that I read too much into this movie. Like the Woody Allen movie that he directs blind. In the end, the French hail it as a masterpiece.It could be a satire from the director's unconscious.
I don 't care. I'm ready to buy it!! I want to see it again. It will be my poster child of aburdity of this culture.
Or maybe my birth certificate is wrong. Maybe I've been tricked and I'm really 14.
I liked it but not for the reasons that adolescents might. Even the dancing scene wasn't that dramatic. He was good for a change, but not great. That it changed the election outcome was really more of a satire on present day politics, where people win on song, dance, and personality.

> That it changed the election outcome was really more of a satire on present day politics, where people win on song, dance, and personality.>You're analyzing it and reading way too much into it. It's just a silly movie about a nerdy guy with a positive attitude and his redemption.
Every teenager I've talked to loves it. I'm back East now visiting family and have discussed it with my teenage neices and nephews - they have all seen it multiple times. It's a teenage cult film.
This is a simple 'coming of age' in the new millenium movie.
Yes, it satirizes contemporary american culture, but it is just a movie about some kids coming to grips with who they are and what they are about.I find the differences in dialogue and character portrayal of the protaganists compared to the others. Just the opposite of what one would expect...but it reminds me of Hal Hartley, who is one of my favorites.
I found it quite entertaining and everyone I have talked to liked it as well.
Later
