im glad court died.


C'mon! He was a jerk!
What he and Maureen had wasn't love anyway. It happened too fast and love takes time. Maureen was just being a lil hoe..
I hope she got knocked up!

He DID treat Dani horribly but he didn't deserve to die (no one does, with the reasonable exceptions of course). He loved Dani, but not in the way Dani loved him. I really enjoyed Dani and Court together...but as much as I hate to admit this; he really did like Maureen maybe even loved her. It happens quick at that age.

I'm glad he died too. He was a jerk.

You're glib, Matt. You're just jealous 'cause I've studied Dr. Pepper and you haven't.

reply

I think you're being unreasonable here!

I thought he was a really nice hard working guy (most of the time anyway) but I'm afraid even the nicest guys can be lead astray by their hormones.

I think he could have really loved Dani, but was decent enough not to take advantage of her, since she was so young. I think he actually only just "fancied" Maureen, but because she was older he was able to sow his wild oats without feeling guilty about it!
I believe he was being quite rude and unfair to Dani, mainly because he respected her age and innocence, and although his hormones played a part... he thought it better not to string her along knowing they couldn't get too close. (at least, not for several years anyway!)

Sex is a very powerful "drug", and one should not operate potentially dangerous machinery under the influence of such a potion... but he didn't deserve to die though!


Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it!

Plus the way he died was so horrible. No one even close to deserves that.

The first comment was rather mean and nasty,but I hope
she did get knocked up.That way a part of Court will live on.

Non main character Billy was a jerk!And in my fairy tale
version Court and Maureen both go to college and live happily
ever after.And Billy either dies or gets a sex change!

This is based on a true story based on the autobiography of the screenwriter's young adulthood. You couldn't possibly mean that if you knew that tidbit. I'm sure she would not like some of the comments being made on here about her sister and her childhood crush-friend. If anything, she has come to realize how much of a jerk Court was not by not having committed statutory rape and taking away her innocence. Do you guys realize how much more devestating that could have been than just having lost him to her sister? It would be great to have that type of innocence, again. He was a great guy for not taking that from her.

Well said.

I think some people above keep from feeling the loss of Court by thinking he is a creep. What a way to protect your feelings.

Court was a boy put into a man's role (death of his father) and he did a great job of NOT molesting a 14 year old girl, having her first crush after Elvis.

If I was 17 and put in that situation with a 14 year old Dani, I would hope for such strength of character.

Court may have turned back to Dani after she was older, we are only left to wonder: what if?

It seemed to me Court was a complicated guy. He wanted to have sex, but at the same time he was looking for love. I am not so sure he ever really loved Dani in a girlfriend kind of way. I think he always saw Dani as just a guy friend. Even if Dani were older I am not so sure he wouldn't leave her for Maureen too. I don't think it was anything personal. It happens all the time that a girl loves a guy, but the guy just doesn't feel for that girl what she feels for him because he likes the character of another girl instead. Personally, I would like to think as guy I would stick with Dani, but wow that Maureen is so intelligent.

But,look at Reece now!Imagine how hot Dani would look!

Cort was just a teenaged boy, having to support his family like a man. He liked having a chance to play again like a kid a bit, and Dani gave him that chance. But he kept telling her that the age difference was a problem and that he was uncomfortable with how things were going. That doesn't make him a complete ass, especially in the context of that part of the country at that time. No one deserves to get hacked to pieces like he did. Maureen was more at fault than he was. She reminds him once that Dani's her sister, and then after that she just thinks about what she wants, which is someone a bit more reliable than Billy.

I really expected Maureen to be pregnant in the end, and bring a boy into the family, but I'm glad it ended where it did, so everyone can have their own ideas flourish about what happened next.
