The Romeo and Juliet story has been modernized to a high school setting previously, but this romance from director John Stockwell turns the tale inside out. Jay Hernandez stars as Carlos Nunez, a poor but athletically gifted Latino teenager who endures a two-hour bus ride every day from East L.A. to attend the posh, wealthy Pacific Palisades High School in Los Angeles on a football scholarship. A straight-A student, Carlos is focused and driven, but his future is cast in doubt when he becomes the flirtation target of spoiled, self-destructive bad girl Nicole Oakley (Kirsten Dunst), who's the daughter of a prominent congressman (Bruce Davison). When his friends, family, and even Nicole's own father oppose the romance for Carlos' sake, he chooses to ignore their advice and stubbornly pursues his relationship with Nicole, whose feelings grow from simple physical attraction to something much deeper. Crazy/beautiful is directed by writer, actor, and director John Stockwell, who also penned the same year's Rock Star. ~ Karl Williams, All Movie Guide

crazy/beautiful comes to DVD with only one picture option: full-screen standard with a 1.33:1 aspect ratio. Sound and audio options, though not much more to choose from in terms of selections, nevertheless offer the high-quality English (Dolby Digital 5.1), English (DTS), and French Dolby, with subtitles available in English, Spanish, and French. Closed captioning is also available. Special features include an audio commentary by director John Stockwell and Kirsten Dunst, a making-of documentary featurette, some scenes deleted from the original theatrical version of the film, and the usual theatrical trailer -- but with a commentary, something not often found on a DVD release. ~ Craig Chalquist, All Movie Guide
