Personally I think Todd Solondz is a genius. And yes, I would say he is a perv. I have seen all of his films. I have yet to see this one. It's not shocking that 13 year olds have sex. It's a reality. Solondz manages to examine the facets of life no one wants to, and do it in such a manner that it makes everyone squirm.

Killed by a simple grammatical mistake -- or a confounding paradox?

I have risen from the dead to copy-and-paste this great quote from the movie:

Quote:

Mark Wiener: People always end up the way they started out. No one ever changes. They think they do but they don't. If you're the depressed type now that's the way you'll always be. If you're the mindless happy type now, that's the way you'll be when you grow up. You might lose some weight, your face may clear up, get a body tan, breast enlargement, a sex change, it makes no difference. Essentially, from in front, from behind. Whether you're 13 or 50, you will always be the same.

Funny, sad, and true -- just like this movie.
