“What u0026#39;will I ever learnu0026#39;? Never judge a book by its cover, a film by its trailer, a story by the u0026#39;criticsu0026#39;. Well, some of them anyway.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe trailer to this movie did NOT appeal to me. Some of the critics trashed it. Even the box to the actual tape/DVD looked u0026#39;cookie-cutteru0026#39; to the first Carrie. I hate redone classics, therefore, I avoided this movie like the plague for the longest time. Indeed, I ran the opposite direction when this movie came near me. Well, maybe thats going a bit far.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eLOW AND BEHOLD!! Last night (7/5/2002) USA network showed this movie, and nothing else was on. I had a bottle of Jose Quervo on hand; just in case. I sat down and got ready to laugh at, tear apart and rag on this flick. After all, its my job as a film buff to see even the u0026#39;badu0026#39; films in order to better appreciate the u0026#39;goodu0026#39;.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI was utterly surprised by this film. There was a character played by Mena Suvari… a pleasant surprise to me- that I thought surely would be the u0026#39;new and improved Carrieu0026#39;. Oops, now Iu0026#39;ve gone too far. ANYWAY! I actually enjoyed this film. I felt very bad for the characteru0026#39;s treatment by others, as well as, herself.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThatu0026#39;s all Iu0026#39;ll say on the content of the movie since there may be those out there whou0026#39;ve avoided this film like I did. DONu0026#39;T!! This movie put me in my place on pre-judging films. I felt entertained and the piece was well-done. I canu0026#39;t think of anything wrong with this movie; right now. Perhaps, it was a bit on the teen-film stereotypical side, but I just really enjoyed watching this film. Thank you for your time ou0026lt;;O) Skot”
