A lot of people hate this movie. But a lot of people are stupid. Ignore James Van Der Beek. This film is good even with Dawson as the star. That’s because it has one of the funniest characters ever to grace the big screen: Richard "Dick" Jared, played by Russel Sams (people should be hiring him left and right!). His dinner scene, which also features Faye Dunaway, is the high point of the film. The film The Rules of Attraction was adapted from the Bret Easton Ellis novel of the same name, so you know it has a LOT of sex and drugs. But it’s also a humorous and "artsy" movie with fun dialogue, an awesome soundtrack (seriously, buy it), and the best suicide scene ever (does that make me sound sick?). If you can stomach Van Der Beek kissing the gorgeous Ian Somerhalder (and it takes a cast-iron stomach), then you’ll probably love this film.
