5.0 out of 5 stars An underrated gem!, July 22, 2005

By	Zack H. - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

This film is about a high schooler named Matt (Chris O'Donnell) who has a crush on free spirited Casey (Drew Barrymore), so he finally gets the guts to ask her out, and they go to a punk rock concert together. They start to really like each other, and become boyfriend and girlfriend. One night, Matt sees Casey fighting with her parents, and she tells Matt that her father thinks Matt is a bad influence and that her father doesn't want Matt to see her anymore. Sooner or later, Matt hears that Casey has been put in the hospital, due to the fact that she tried to commit suicide by taking sleeping pills. Matt helps her escape, and the two lovebirds take a road trip against parental wishes. Along their way to Mexico, they encounter a sellsman who tries to hit on Casey, and Casey begins to experience depression episodes again. Matt learns that Casey is Bi-Polar, and he tries to comfort her the only way he knows how. He decides his only option is to get her help, so he decides to call her parents. She attempts to commit suicide again, telling Matt that she doesn't want to be sick anymore and that she doesn't want to be locked up. Matt talks her out of it, and they return home, so that Casey can recieve medical treatment. This film may or may not sound interesting, but it's a great film nevertheless. Drew Barrymore and Chris O'Donnell give excellent performances. Recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mental illness doesn't have an ugly face, September 20, 2002

By	K. Tolbert "chazmom97" (Peoria, IL United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Drew Barrymore's performance as an overprotected, free spirit tortured by mental illness is very real. As her character unfolded, I completely recognized myself prior to my bipolar diagnosis. I watched the beautiful, young Casey (Barrymore) teeter between mania and depression. I watched her hurt the people who loved her most. I watched her ruin her life. It was difficult for me to watch this movie, but I highly recommend it to anyone affected by bipolar disorder, whether yourself or someone you love.
