Query: Disappointing

As a fan of classic films, I expected to love this movie, but was sorely disapointed. The score is great, and the direction isn't bad, either, but the writing is horrendous. Why must the characters stand around giving each other speeches? Michael Rossi, the new school prinicpal, is the worst. Every time he opens his mouth it's time to pull out the soapbox. Hardly a word of the dialogue in the movie is crisp or realistic. Dialogue such as "In a way I've always felt that way, but I'm just now realizing it. . ." pepper the entire film. That's a shame, too, because the story itself contains some daring elements, as well as some very promising characters, such as Allison's boyfriend.
