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.

I agree with the listed post. this film was too morbid to be a college film. This film wasn't like the preview in the final cut. Has anybody seen MY SO CALLED LIFE, a high school show that starred Claire Danes. This movie fits into that category for a poorexcuse independen film.

I have a hard time watching R films that show alot of nudity, cussing etc... I think it goes back to my childhood~ my mom and dad forbid me to watch R movies with ANYTHING bad in them, so I just stuck with that. And now I freak when I see it in movies. It's wierd, it's like I get pissed that they show it.
I know, wierd.

Hrm... and I thought it was just me. I have a really hard time with the needless cussing - in movies and in general. I flip out when I hear the F Bomb. Don't like it in Porn or otherwise. LMAO!
Nudity however isn't an issue... ;)

What I wanna know is why someone would buy a movie before they flipped it to the back to see the rating. Doink.

yes, this is my guideline for renting movies with my children, read why the movie is rated R, it lists it right there for you, violence, drug use, sexual,nudity......
