Nov 30, 2018 - Jay Hernandez, who was discovered in an elevator by a talent manager, hit the jackpot with his first feature film part: a lead role opposite. In the end, Crazy Beautiful You, triumphs in delivering its full capacity. In spite of its tiring formula, the film pays utmost attention to its details carefully and exquisitely, enough for it to completely shrug off its easily recognizable set-up. This is easily my top teen romantic movie of the year. I give the film 9/10 stars.

Crazy/Beautiful (stylized as crazy/beautiful) is a 2001 American teenromanticdrama film starring Kirsten Dunst and Jay Hernandez. It is largely set at Palisades Charter High School and the surrounding area, including Downtown Los Angeles, Pacific Palisades, Malibu (where Dunst's character lives), and East Los Angeles (where Hernandez's character lives).
Plot[edit]
Nicole Oakley, the out-of-control daughter of congressman Tom Oakley, meets a working class Mexican-American straight-A student, Carlos Nuñez. Nicole is troubled because her mother committed suicide when she was very young, feels unwanted by her father, who is now married to another woman and has another young daughter with his new wife. Carlos, on the other hand, is from a poor background and is working hard towards becoming a Navy pilot.
They fall in love, and Carlos spends so much time with her that he stops performing well in school. Carlos is applying to the U.S. Naval Academy and Nicole's father suggests Carlos talk to him about gaining his Congressional sponsorship to the Academy. During their meeting, Nicole's father tells Carlos that he needs to end his relationship with Nicole, or she will destroy his life. Carlos breaks up with her, which leads Nicole into depression and back into wild, drunken partying. One night, Carlos calls her and finds out she is getting drunk at a high school party. He saves Nicole from a boy trying to take advantage of her. Carlos drives her home, but they get stopped by the police.

As a result of this incident, Nicole's father and step-mother decide that she needs to go to a boarding school far away from home; Carlos rescues her and they run away together. While they are away, Nicole realizes she is getting in the way of Carlos' dreams, so she decides to sober up. They go back home and she makes up with her father. Her father thanks Carlos for not listening to his advice to abandon Nicole. In the end credits, we see that Carlos has become a pilot with the Navy.

Production[edit]
Crazy/Beautiful was directed by John Stockwell, who was interested in casting actress Kirsten Dunst as a self-destructive teenager after seeing her role in The Virgin Suicides.[3] Dunst, who was 19 at the time, accepted the role because she was tired of playing 'sweet' girls in previous films.[3] The actress also helped Stockwell convince Disney executives not to tone down the film's language and adult themes.[3] Although a nude scene was in the script, it was never filmed because Dunst did not feel comfortable with it.[4]Crazy/Beautiful was planned as an R-rated film, but Disney ultimately wanted a more commercial PG-13 rating and ordered Stockwell to cut 35 obscenities, including a sex scene and a character's drug use.[5] The film was originally titled 'At Seventeen'.[6]
Reception[edit]
Crazy/Beautiful opened at #9 at the U.S. Box office taking in $4,715,060 USD during its opening weekend. The film eventually grossed a worldwide total of $19,937,988 on a $13 million budget.[2]
The New York Times critic A. O. Scott praised the lead actors and the film's lively soundtrack, but criticized the other characters for being flat and superficial. He concluded that Crazy/Beautiful is 'an enormous improvement over the brainless, patronizing teenage romances' of the time, but also admitted that it could have been much better if the filmmakers 'had trusted themselves and the actors a bit more'.[7]
Soundtrack[edit]
The soundtrack album was released by Hollywood Records on June 6, 2001; Seven Mary Three's 'Wait' served as the album's Englishlead single; La Ley's 'Siempre (Every Time)' was its Spanish lead single. 'Wait' charted considerably well and its music video, directed by the film's director Stockwell, featured Dunst and Hernandez.[8]Amazon.com editorialist Rickey Wright gave a mixed review of the soundtrack, citing groups like The Dandy Warhols, Mellow Man Ace, and Delinquent Habits as 'evocative' while also stating that it 'hardly makes a good argument for the continuing validity of guitar rock.'[9]
