This movie "ends up being" "fresh in my head", "mainly through connecting" "big serious topics" in an "earnest attempt" to "comes to terms" and "deal with" teen suicide; it "seems to pick" casual "grocery store" situations of every day life and "deftly" highlight their "over the edge" possibilities.

[whoooa] Keanu pushes a friend over the edge by saying mean, pushy things like, "We're counting on you, man," then has to deal with his death for the rest of the movie. An earnest attempt to deal with teen suicide, this ends up being not a bad movie.

[whoooa] This is a touching story of a teenager (Keanu) who loses a close friend to suicide. Keanu comes to terms with the loss, mainly through connecting with his music and the hot girl he seems to pick in every movie. I was at the grocery store for most of it, so it's not too fresh in my head.

[whoooa] Never really thought about all those movies Keanu made in the first few years with big serious topics (and amazingly, never a topic retread), this one included (teen suicide). Handled deftly, in a mature way, without presenting any kind of "answers" where there simply aren't any. Movie shows Keanu engaging in one of his passions (playing music) and we get to see a production of HMS Pinafore. Who would have thought Gilbert & Sullivan and teen suicide would meld well, but they do.
