Movie Haiku:What Jan saw the theatre, she hated. What's in the DVD's "Extended Cut" (seen also by Rich) is a bit better, so if you want to watch it, we both recommend the longer version. 16 year old high school student (Paquin) inadvertently causes a horrible traffic accident. Jan: Far-fetched & morally conpromised. Rich: Yes but depiction of life in Manhattan is luminous.
