Enjoyable movie

I found it interesting to see people ripping into this film so much, but maybe it's because I can go with a lot of different kinds of movies -

As someone who has seen this whole upper east side thing as a kid growing up, it's not surprising to me at all the whole hip-hop thing or the whole drug thing - kids want to fit in, and why not with an escape to a world radically different from one's upbringing?

I thought the acting was great - yes, I also had a bit of a hard time with the Olsen character, but the two lead males were excellent, and frankly I found it to be a refreshing movie.
