First of all, I may be biased because I find all "coming of age" movies with a deep plot and dramatic storyline great like kids, thirteen, havoc etc. So the following review might stem from that but I will try my best to be as fair as possible and be as critical as I can be.For a movie that tackles an issue that's borderline taboo for this day and age while being portrayed by barely legal characters, it was done in a tasteful manner. It has this shock factor kids who aren't fully socially and sexually awaken yet and for the parents who think 'the kids are all right' (lol see what I did there? Moving on then.) and is safe in their own little bedrooms and their strict household rules. It makes you think and question what is right and what is wrong, who is sane and who is not. But at then end of it all you just don't care. Frighteningly enough, I think that's what friendship kinda is. You hope for the best and do your best but it all turns into a mess one way or another. It's the kind of movie that leaves you feeling sad and empty at the end yet relieved and fascinated at the same time. Some may come to love it, some may not. But one thing I am sure of is that you will never forget it. It will leave a mark somehow, somewhere. If not in your thoughts, then in your soul.

im assuming this movie has gotten quite a bit of negative feedback because it is a pretty eye opening story line. though provocative and at times awkward you really feel the film.there's a part in the relative middle of the movie, where amber tamblins character wendy, and ashton holmes character sean, are outside "playing" basket ball, and the interactions between the two make me literally feel the giddy that sean would be feeling, it might have something to do with how gorgeous ashton holmes is, or how great of a job he does playing his part, but it makes you a little hopeful that something like that could actually be that real or raw.there is also a part closer to the end that isn't quite as pleasant, its actually the opposite, it shows you how wendy is really not average, and well pretty twisted, maybe its just a preference and its just me and my take on spanking, but it was weird to watch, and you can sense that sean feels like its just as weird as you do.all together i really like this movie, its so real and moving that its hard not to get caught up in it. my only complaints come with the wardrobe, it was horrendous, and all together horrible, well for the females who took on these roles that is, and amber tamblin's hair. she is stunning in my opinion but the way her hair is in this movie makes her seem like shes clueless, not someone who's strong and knows who she is.

It was late one night and I decided to watch Normal Adolescent Behavior on lifetime and thought it was an interesting film. It's about a girl Wendy and her five closest best friends who engage in sexual actives together so they don't have to go through the heart break of having boyfriends and girlfriends and breaking up and hooking up and all of that. And so her life is fine the way it is. Until this boy moves in next door. She starts to fall in love with this boy and she starts to fall in love with her. One day he asks her to give up everything that she has ever known her relationship with her best friends the way she entirely lives her life to be with him and Wendy must make a choice between him and the others. I think it could have a been a bit more raunchy to be more realistic. And the first part of the story line was strong enough to carry a whole movie let alone an outside romance with this boy. I thought they could have put more of the relationship between Wendy and her friends into the film and that it focused too much on her trying to get with this boy and individualize herself from the group.

I was astounded by the very negative reviews I read here, I thought the movie Normal Adolescent Behavior was fantastic. The use of the group-sex pact I thought, really showed how people grow up and evolve. While some viewers may say it was over-the-top, I have to disagree, although the situation is pretty unusual, those kinds of things happen every once and a while, things that sound so bizarre, parents don't even take the rumors seriously. It was so thought-provoking, days after seeing this film I kept analyzing what relationships really mean, a major theme of the movie. You see how with all of these so-called "liberated" sexual practices in teen culture, such as nameless sex partners and girls going down on boys for status hurts teens' ability to have healthy sexual relationships. I, as a highschooler can also vouch that things such as the party scenes are not unrealistic, just kept very quiet. I talked to my mother about the issues of this film, and any movie that can spark discussions between teenagers and adults about sex, I think, is a good thing.
