All I Want (2002)

“Try Seventeen, or the title I bought the movie under, All I Want (I like try seventeen better) is a misunderstood story. I originally bought this movie because of Elijah Wood (heu0026#39;s very cute). I was seventeen at the time, and I totally understood this movie. Itu0026#39;s about a boy trying to cope with life as he knows it. He tries to escape by pretending and lying about things, and not only to other people, but to himself. He put himself in imaginative situations where he would be the hero and everything would work out for him as he wanted it to. Oddly enough, I found myself daydreaming the same kind of scenerios, and I still often do. SO no, this movie isnu0026#39;t for everyone, but it is a very understandable storie if you open your mind to it. I related to it very well because I was sort of the same. So donu0026#39;t be close-minded about movies such as this!”
