Rules of Attraction--in my opinion is very sick and bad!
so not what I expected.
so out there.
so not good
so disgusting.

I am not that old and like teen college movies but this one was OH MY GOD.
if you liked it, this is just my opinion.
a waste of acting, movie, and my nerves are upset. I watched as much as I could hoping it gets better. nope. I just shut it off. My 11 year old niece wants to watch this. NOPE not in my house. drug abuse, sexual abuse, foul nasty language, nudity, is just the tip of it,

sadly I didn't see a preview, I do remeber the commerical for when it was released at the theather. That looked good and funny. Please I like "Dawson" guy and "Mary" from seventh heaven. Not that I was expecting "their" characters just like them so I thought that was a good idea when I saw the cover at the movie rentals store.

I saw the previews and thought it would be a comedy! Boy was I mistaken, yuck, I turned it off after a few minutes.

ROTFL

I saw this movie since invest in so many movies every week.LOL. It was alright, but IMO it's not as bad as the rest of these teen movies out. It seems that popular culture is so accepting of all the nudity, sex, and drug abuse that it has become a norm when watching anything.
