And you think you're seeing it again until about halfway when the complexities of the characters and their relationship begin to shine through. You've seen this mismatched young love story done a thousand times before, and usually badly and/or superficially. Doesn't start very promisingly though, treading in deeply-worn tracks with poor Hispanic boy Carlos getting involved with rich white girl Nicole - he studies, she parties he's heads-up, she's a screw-up he's pragmatic, she's problematic. Had this on my watch list ONLY because Kirsten Dunst stars, and was unexpectedly treated to an overall rewarding experience.
