"I only had sex with her because I'm in love with you" is the most honest thing a fictional character has ever said.
IT SUCKS COOOOOOOOOOOOOCK
This fucking film. This film is the most perfect representation of a Bret Easton Ellis book, the style is uncanny. It is disjointed, it is meandering and there are no good people, but that's fine.
This film brought Shannyn Sossamon to my attention (she's never far from it now), it had Ian Sommerholder before he was EVERYWHERE with his creepy eyes, tiny Jay Baruchel, James Van Der Beek's best acting role (it really opened my eyes and taught me to not be judgemental just because someones been in something corny).
The camerawork is excellent and experimental, the split screens the jumps in time the backwards work is all flawless and just suits the work to a tee. The dialogue is spot on, just everything man.
Plus you know, TOMANDANDY.

Seven salacious takeaways from rewatching The Rules of Attraction in 2021.
1. This film is still pretty damn risqué / edgy. Drugs, venereal diseases, coked-up narcotics dealers, bathtub suicides: it unflinchingly flaunts a ton of taboos. Yet, despite pushing our cultural buttons, it has aged strangely in a few scenes. Case in point: opening with a date rape that is treated with mildly ribald undertones just doesn't bode well two decades later. We can all be thankful for that.
2. Don't forget that when this was made, it starred the leads of the WB's two hottest tween hits: James Van Der Beek of Dawson's Creek and Jessica Biel of Seventh Heaven. This was definitely to be an image-defying pivot for…
-"Well, Dick, how is school?"
-"It sucks COOOOOOCK!"
The bi kid should have got some cock he deserved better
This movie makes me want to text every single person in my contacts, “Hi.”
I NO LONGER KNOW WHO I AM AND I FEEL LIKE THE GHOST OF A TOTAL STRANGER
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
spoiler warning also tw// rape, suicide
i know it’s corny to say but i think you do have to watch this film several times in order to pick up on everything... like this time i finally noticed that lauren and the food service girl were close friends bc like .... sean bateman looks at a picture of them while he’s having sex with lara so like ...... when lauren finds the food service girl dead after she’s committed suicide, to her that’s not a random girl she’s walking in on it’s her friend :(((((( made me pretty sad when i realized
but on the other hand there’s parts in the film where i’m just smiling and laughing for minutes at…
one of those “i can’t figure out if this is good or awful” movies
ATTENTION HOT BITCHES!! there is a movie about patrick bateman’s brother in college!! it stars dawson from fucking dawsons creek!! ian somerhalder is a twink and dances to faith by george michael in his underwear!! it is batshit insane!! PLEASE WATCH!!
viktor's eurotrip sequence is worth watching the whole film for
I would have loved this if a boy told me to see it when I was 14
