I enjoyed this film. Certainly worth watching, especually if you're a Tarentino fan.
If I had any critisism it was that the "set ups" were a little long. Tarentino loves to set up a scene and then all of the sudden he hits you, which is great but in this movie he drug it out just a little too much on some scenes.
This movie drags on and on. Between back story, and teen aged lust I was bored about 75% of the movie. Even my 12 year old daughter got bored, and she LIKES teen romance stuff.
Maybe the book was good; I wouldn't know, but I would have waited for this to come out on cable had I known.
