I was born in the early 60s and grew up in the 70's during my teen years. As a young man, I loved that time: love was open, recreational drugs were plentiful, the economy was decent, and oh, a lot of chicks didn't wear bras. I have read ( yet cannot confirm) that Dunst has some sort of no-bra policy, but I don't recall her mandate ever being obvious in her other films. In this case, it sort of throws a monkey wrench in the credibility machine. Allow me to explain. If you are a teacher or principal at a high school, a doting FATHER, fellow friend, unknown person you engage in public, or a woman who is hell-bent on judging you who has given birth by your father, I cannot imagine ANY scenario where NO ONE ever makes a comment that this teenager never wears a bra, and on top of that, seemingly never washes her greasy hair. This simply makes no sense to me. She not only goes braless, but also wears cut off t-shirts or shirts that are open on the sides, SO, the look is intentional/deliberate and is accentuated. Kirsten's bulbous CC-cups( just guessing the size) bounces throughout the entire film and no one ever seems to care or even notices the slutty appearance of a character who is only 17-18. Even her gal-pal goes braless in a couple of scenes and in a long segment of the movie, she jokes about her forgetting to wear a top. ( she's wearing a micro bra or bikini AS a top) So, at this point I have to conclude this may be not a mandate by our lead but some sort of fantasy whipped up by one of the producers or the director. In 2001, its entirely inappropriate to unilaterally condone this look for a teenager. Thing is, at the core, its a decent teen-romance film, replete with come cliché's but its cool anyway. We LIKE the characters. There's decent acting chops here, along with marginal writing and production skills. Its a good movie. But there is definitely an intent by whomever, for me to be distracted by bouncing breasts, which ( even though titillating) is wildly inappropriate and unrealistically presented in this context.

i saw Crazy/Beautiful more than 4 or 5 times and i still find it as charming as ever.i really found Nicole to be very cool.i would like to have girlfriend like her :)(lol).she is portrayed as a girl who likes to have fun and also let people around her enjoy.Carlos's condition is very aptly portrayed on screen. he is from a lower middle class background so definitely his goals are a priority.but just then both of them find each other. they spend time and have fun. they also eventually have a clash but at the end Carlos discovers that its love which will hold him and make him better.so he breaks all rules and dogmas and he risks everything and in the end they both emerge successful and Nicole helps him to enroll into flying academy.Nicole is the most sweetest girl in the movie and very caring.the movie is fun,has emotions and will touch you deep. u will end up being and feeling different. see it to believe it.. best wishes..

Hi my name is Tom Barry and I don't know why this movie is so underrated. It's totally my favorite movie ever. Kirsten Dunst is the absolute best thing to happen to Hollywood since Tom Cruise. I love her so much and I love all her movies. In this movie she plays a tough girl with some serious problems, but then she meets the guy of her dreams who makes everything alright again. Oh boy, this is a recipe for movie magic! I honestly think this is the most perfect movie ever made. The acting is so realistic and emotional. Jay Hernandez has his break out role in this movie. If you thought he was good in Hostel, you'll love him in this one. But Kirsten steals the show with her magnetic smile and stunning bod. I think about her performance every night before I go to sleep, this movie has affected me that much. Obviously, there is something in my personal life that relates so much to this movie, but I still think it is the most overlooked movie ever."You are Crazy/Beautiful" ---- best quote ever!

This was an excellent performance by the two lead actors, Kirsten Dunst and Jay Hernandez. Their actions and situations were gritty and real, and they seemed very much like real un-Hollywood type characters throughout. And wow ... this was truly a great illustration of the strength of genuine love despite imperfections, despite society's view of what's right and what's wrong and what's successful and what's not. And most of all, I was greatly struck by the illustration of how belief in a person (and love for a person) whom others find unacceptable or unlovable can so powerfully TRANSFORM that person. The Kirsten Dunst character goes through a rather big change, a change that you would've thought impossible, but she pulls it off believably.
