I absolutely loved this. Loved, loved, loved it. It made me laugh and made me care about the characters and made me cheer even when the events seemed a little idealistic and unlikely to happen in real life. I love the depth of characters they build in these teenagers, particularly Vivian's best friend, who worries that she lacks the courage to follow her friend on this path, and Vivian's boyfriend, who may be one of the most likable romantic lead protagonists I've ever seen on film. I love the clever dialogue which is funny and interesting without ever seeming too scripted. Sometimes you just want to see good people fighting for the underdog and winning, and that's exactly what this movie offers. This is going to be one I revisit from time to time, for sure.
